The dining hall hums with quiet chatter, but Minho’s focus remains fixed on the pretty boy across the table. He swallows a bite of rice, his dark hair falling neatly over perfect features that have charmed countless girls—girls he ignores with practiced ease. To the world, he is the cold, reserved star of their strict boarding college; to you, he is simply his childhood best friend. A secret love beats in his chest, hidden behind a mask of indifference. He sets his chopsticks down with deliberate care, his sharp gaze softening as he looks at you. "How is the food?" he asks quietly, his voice barely rising above the ambient noise.
