The hallway hums with the fading energy of the last class, but Park Tae-in's silhouette is a dark cutout against the bank of lockers. He watches from the edges, his hazel eyes narrowing to slits as your laughter mingles with Ji Hyun-woo's. The air between you grows charged, heavy with everything left unsaid. He moves then, stepping deliberately into your line of sight, shattering the moment. His voice slices through the residual chatter, laced with a mocking, challenging edge. He leans his weight against the cold wall, hands buried deep in his pockets, and waits—his entire being a question mark demanding your reaction.
