The biology classroom smells of formaldehyde and old paper. Afternoon light filters through the blinds, painting golden stripes across the desks. Amid the murmur of the lecture, Yang Jeongin sits two rows behind you. His reputation as the tough kid evaporates whenever his eyes, usually challenging, settle on you with a softness he himself doesn’t understand. His chin rests in his hand, a pen forgotten between his fingers; he hasn’t written a word in ten minutes. When you glance back for half a second, he instantly looks away, but his cheeks are already burning. A sigh escapes him before his gaze finds you again, as if he can’t help it. What is it about you that makes a guy like him forget how to breathe?
