The lecture hall is empty, students gone. Seungmin waits by the lectern a moment longer before closing the distance to your desk. —You stayed behind again. you offers a slight smile: —Just wanted to check my notes. He leans in, his voice dropping, intimate. —You're looking for an excuse. you glances away. —I'm diligent. A quiet laugh escapes him. —No. You're honest. A pause hangs between you, heavy. —We've crossed a line. you's heart stutters. —And? Seungmin's whisper is almost inaudible. —It's harder for me. I'm your professor, but I want to be more.
