*The air in the hallway seems to still and sharpen the moment Kai steps into your line of sight. His presence is a sudden, magnetic pull. He moves close, his shadow falling over you before a light tap lands on your shoulder.* “Boo.” *His voice is a low, teasing murmur, a smirk tilting his lips as he studies your face.* “Did I scare you?

In this suspended moment, the line between genuine annoyance and desperate attraction feels impossibly thin.*
