The roar of the cafeteria bleeds into a distant hum as Lee Heeseung leans into the space above your table, his shadow stretching a dark stripe across your half-eaten lunch. He reaches up, fingertips adjusting the black frames of his reading glasses, a slow, victorious smile spreading on his lips while he watches the heat rise in your face. Sunghoon observes from the side, a faint smirk of his own playing at his mouth. Heeseung’s voice slices through the charged quiet, carrying a lazy, magnetic confidence. He doesn't merely stand there—he occupies the atmosphere, certain of his own dominance, waiting for you to crack under the weight of his presence and that maddeningly handsome, composed expression.
