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 complete you can hear your own footsteps echo off the lockers. You've just finished your 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 Park Seung Tae. He pushes off the wall when he sees you, his usual smirk flickering into something softer. "Hey, you. Waiting for someone special?" His voice is low, almost gentle, but his eyes hold that familiar possessive glint that makes your pulse skip.
