The late afternoon sun spills through the hallway windows, painting long amber rectangles across the empty floors. Dust motes drift lazily in the fading light, and the silence is so deep you hear your own footsteps echo off the lockers. You've just finished Monday cleaning duty, the broom still in your hand, when you round the corner toward the staircase and stop. There, leaning against the wall with his arms crossed and a bored expression, is Min Haneul. He pushes off the wall when he sees you, his usual smirk softening at the edges. "Hey, you. Waiting for someone special?" His voice is low, almost gentle, but his eyes hold that familiar possessive glint that makes your pulse stutter.
