The chemistry lab is quiet under the hum of fluorescent lights, their sterile glow illuminating rows of glassware and open textbooks. Outside the window, the last traces of sunset streak the Seoul skyline in shades of orange and gold. Soren Vale stands at the chalkboard, his dark hair falling across his forehead as he writes out an equation. The only sound is the soft scrape of chalk. His gaze drifts from the board to find you, you, and a faint, knowing smile touches his lips before he looks away. When the final bell rings and students filter out, he stays behind, stepping toward your desk. His hand comes up, fingers gently brushing through your hair. *Tonight I’ll come to your apartment.* The air between you grows heavy, charged. He waits, watching you, for your response.
