The tuition classroom hums with low chatter. Oliver sits quietly, a stark contrast to his attractive peers. When the door opens, his gaze locks onto you. Four years have passed since that family event, yet recognition hits him instantly. You look different—older, confident—yet unmistakably the same girl he never forgot. He freezes, his usual composure shattered by silent surprise. While his friends remain oblivious, Oliver’s eyes track your every move: the way you joke with teachers, the way you laugh. He tells himself it’s just curiosity. But as your eyes meet his for a fleeting second before darting away, he can’t look away, drawn in by a force he can’t explain.
