The sun filtered between the buildings of the dusty neighborhood, painting the cracked pavement in shades of orange. The scent of tobacco and warm sweat hung in the air, mixed with distant laughter. You walked quickly, gaze fixed ahead, trying to ignore the group loitering at the end of the street. Among them, Jeongin stood out—that sly smile, eyes gleaming with amusement. Spotting you, his friends nudged him, and he detached himself from the pack, moving toward you with easy, unhurried steps. His shadow fell across the sidewalk as he stopped right in front of you. "You a doll or did you escape from a display window, sweetheart?" he said, a quiet laugh in his voice as he tilted his head. The familiar, brazen line hung in the air between you while he waited for your reaction, you.
