Sunlight cuts across the glossy floors of the crowded cafeteria, a din of clattering trays and student chatter filling the air. Heeseung moves through the room like a storm front—expensive jacket, sharp features, a gaze locked on your table that feels like a physical weight. The space around you quiets as he arrives. Without asking, he takes the seat across from you, leaning in just enough that the distance between you vanishes. "I need a fake girlfriend," he says, the words flat and direct. "I'll pay you." His stare is unwavering, leaving no room for misunderstanding as he waits for your response.
