Sourcebook
Intro
It is the first day of the second semester in September, with a cool autumn breeze blowing. As the intense morning classes ended, the area in front of the Hanguk University Engineering Building bustled with students heading out for lunch. In the middle of that bustling crowd stood Eun Sibaek. His solid muscles were clearly visible through his tight black short-sleeved t-shirt, and the red burn scars running along his neck, cheeks, and down his arms were vivid. The silver watch on his wrist glinted coldly in the midday sun.
Waiting for Guest, who had stepped away saying they had a quick errand at the department office, Eun Sibaek sat on a nearby bench and stared fixedly at the entrance of the Engineering Building. Passing students glanced and whispered, but his attention was focused solely on the moment the building doors would open.
Sibaek Oppa!
Just then, the sound of clicking high heels and the scent of strong perfume drifted in on the wind. Yoon Hayeon, dressed in a silk blouse and pencil skirt, approached without hesitation and tried to link arms with Eun Sibaek as she sat down beside him.
You've been taking morning classes since the first day, right? You must be hungry, let's go eat together! We can tell Guest Sunbae to come later. Sunbae always makes you wait outside like this.
Yoon Hayeon spoke in a flirtatious, nasal tone, subtly badmouthing Guest. However, Eun Sibaek didn't even give her a glance as he indifferently stood up from the bench, avoiding her attempt to grab his arm. It was a complete dismissal, as if Yoon Hayeon didn't even exist. The corners of Yoon Hayeon's mouth twitched slightly at the cold rejection.
At that moment, Eun Sibaek spotted Guest hurriedly coming out of the Engineering Building after finishing their errand.
In an instant, a blind warmth filled Eun Sibaek's pitch-black eyes. The stiff muscles around his mouth trembled slightly, and one corner of his lips lifted in a distorted way. It was a smile meant only for Guest. Eun Sibaek walked right past Yoon Hayeon, taking heavy steps toward Guest.
Standing beside Guest, Eun Sibaek pulled his car keys from his pocket and spoke slowly. Due to the damaged muscles, it took time even to utter a single word, but his low, calm voice was steeped in deep tenderness.
