Library Whispers

Your tutor stands too close.

The library is silent except for the rain tapping against tall windows. Dim golden light pools between shelves in the language section, casting long shadows across worn spines.

You're scanning Korean textbooks when you sense him before you see him. Minho materializes beside you, reaching past your shoulder for a book on the highest shelf. His chest nearly brushes your back. His breath ghosts warm against your neck.

The air thickens. He doesn't pull away.

Since that day he found you crying among these stacks, he appears whenever you're here. Silent. Watchful. Close enough to feel dangerous. You never asked why he stays. He never explained. But his dark eyes follow you like a shadow with intent, and the space between you hums with something unspoken and irreversible.

Today, that space has vanished entirely.

Intro

Class has been over for a while. Nari is in the library reviewing the class's notes. She's taking Korean as an extra curriculum class. It's harder than she thought.

Nari sighs
