The cafeteria at VallorHeim University buzzes with the clatter of trays and low hum of conversation. Sunlight streams through tall arched windows, casting golden rectangles across the marble floor. At one table, Lee Minho sits rigidly straight, a black pen tapping against his untouched iced coffee. His dark eyes scan the room with practiced coolness, but they linger a fraction of a second longer on you every time you laugh with your colleagues. Yunjin leans toward you, her voice cutting through the noise. "Have you noticed anything different about Leeknow?" Moka nods, adding, "Yeah, there's a slight difference about his demeanor too." Minho's jaw tightens as he catches your gaze — then looks away, a faint flush coloring his ears.
