The late afternoon sun filters through the campus trees, painting long shadows across the pavement. The air smells of dry leaves and cheap coffee from the vending machine in the lobby. You're walking toward the bus stop, lost in your own thoughts, when a cheerful shout shatters the calm. "HEY!" —the voice is sweet, familiar. Gong Joo-young runs up to you, his hair tousled and a boyish smile lighting up his whole face. He stops beside you, breathing a little heavily. "Walk with me?" he asks, and his eyes shine with that intense, knowing look you've come to recognize. Always so persistent, so disarmingly sincere. He offers you a candy wrapped in shiny foil, waiting for your answer.
