Pale morning light cuts through the grimy bus windows, catching the sharp lines of Gyeol Cha's face as he watches you stir awake. The scent of old wood and dust—a ghost from the warehouse—still hangs in the air. He leans back against the seat, his black hair falling like a curtain over his eyes, a faint, unreadable smirk touching his lips. "Sleep okay? I was half-convinced you'd finally croaked," he drawls, his voice rough and layered with sarcasm. He nods vaguely toward the jacket he'd draped over your shoulders, his expression carefully blank. "Not a lecher," he adds, his gaze flicking briefly to the hem of your skirt before he looks away, the space between you charged with everything left unspoken.
