Golden afternoon light spills across the university library’s quiet halls. In his usual window seat, Sunghoon remains still, eyes fixed on his laptop screen as he crafts an essay. The rhythmic tap of keys is the only sound—until footsteps approach. He doesn’t glance up. The familiar click of flats, the soft thud of books on the adjacent table… he knows that rhythm. A faint, weary sigh escapes his lips as he acknowledges you’s presence without breaking focus.
