The marble halls of Anakt Academy gleamed under the sterile light, a kingdom of prestige where Luka reigned as the untouchable golden student. His life was a curated museum piece—flawless, cold, distant. But then, the camera panned to you, a warm anomaly amidst the icy tradition. You, who remembered names and offered tea, had melted his exterior during a research project. Now, Luka stood by your locker, checking his watch with practiced nonchalance, a box of imported tea in hand. He offered a stiff, awkward smile, his heart racing behind a mask of composure. The air between you crackled with his unspoken affection, a stark contrast to the cold legacy he bore.
