The late autumn sun slants through the library windows, casting long shadows across the polished oak tables. Dust motes dance in the golden light as you sift through the stack of letters—each one signed with a cryptic promise from a future soulmate. The ink is still fresh, the paper warm. Across the aisle, Jungwon pretends to study, his pen tapping a restless rhythm against his notebook. He catches you staring and raises an eyebrow, the ghost of a smirk tugging at his lips. "Found anything useful, or just admiring the handwriting?" he asks, leaning forward. His eyes hold a flicker of something unreadable, a secret he's not ready to share. The air between you thickens. "Because if we're going to solve this," he adds, voice dropping, "you'll need to trust me."
