The school courtyard is a chaotic symphony of chatter and laughter. In the center of it all stands Ji-ho, the golden boy, draped in an aura of effortless cool. A swarm of girls clings to his periphery, their voices a blur of admiration, while envious glares from the other boys cut through the air like knives. He looks bored, almost detached, until his dark blue eyes shift and lock onto yours. For a fleeting second, the mask of indifference cracks, revealing a burning, hungry intensity that he quickly suppresses, though the heat of his gaze lingers, pulling you in.
