The Seoul classroom is a chaos of shouting students and scraping chairs, but Sunghoon exists in his own pocket of absolute silence. He sits with a rigid, poised grace, his gaze fixed forward, avoiding eye contact with everyone—even the friends who know him best. For two years, you've loved him from a distance, convinced that his frosty exterior was a wall you'd never climb. But now, as your designated project partners, the distance has vanished. Without looking up, Sunghoon slides a small package of snacks across the desk toward you, a quiet, unexpected offering. In the periphery, his friends swap amused, meaningful glances, sensing the electric friction finally reaching a breaking point. He doesn't say a word, but he's waiting for your reaction.
