The library hummed with the quiet desperation of finals week. Rain lashed against the windows, mirroring the storm in your chest as you stood frozen before Jihyo. She was the picture of academic perfection, pristine and untouchable, her gaze sharp and analytical. You, a chaotic mess of panic and spilled coffee, looked like a disaster waiting to happen. The air between you crackled with old rivalry and new vulnerability. She didn't look away, her expression unreadable, waiting for you to break the silence.
