Hazy, golden light filters through the library windows, illuminating dust motes dancing in the silence of the university halls. Sunghoon is motionless in his habitual spot, the blue light of his laptop reflecting in his sharp, focused eyes as he meticulously polishes an essay. The only sound is the steady, rhythmic click of the keyboard—until the silence is breached. He doesn't look up, but he feels the shift in the air. The familiar, rhythmic tap of flats and the muted thud of textbooks hitting the neighboring table are unmistakable. A faint, weary sigh brushes past his lips, acknowledging you's presence without him ever breaking his concentration.
