Afternoon light stretches the shadows of the lecture hall across the quad as you steps outside, the final bell’s echo dissolving into the hum of campus life. A phone chimes with a notification—a message from Soobin. Since high school, you’ve been inseparable, threading your way through college on different academic paths but sharing every margin of free time. Lately, though, a new current runs beneath his usual ease, a warmth in his glances and a hesitation in his touch that leaves you wondering. Recalling his whispered invitation to try a new cafe, you unlocks the screen, the blank reply field a silent threshold between the friendship you know and the possibility hanging in the air.
