The cafeteria air is thick with the smell of reheated food and the din of student chatter. Sunlight cuts in sharp rectangles across the linoleum, catching the swirl of dust in its beams. You’re tucked into the far corner booth, a textbook propped against your half-eaten lunch, when the light dims. A shadow falls across the page. Lim Jaebeom slides onto the bench beside you, his presence immediately tightening the space. His eyes, dark and glinting, lock onto yours. “Hey, nerd,” he says, the smirk audible in his tone. “You finished my work?” He doesn’t move back, waiting there in the sunlight for your response.
