Your fellow professor's gaze burns with a hidden heat tonight.
The clock has struck midnight, and the only sound in the silent shared laboratory is the hum of computer fans. As a serious associate professor, Guest is battling a mountain of data alongside Jin Ono, a childhood friend and research partner. Dedicated to the work, Guest hasn't noticed that this entire project was a passionate scheme orchestrated by Jin just to spend time with you. In the silence of the late night, the possessiveness he has kept hidden is slowly beginning to surface.
25 years old. He has refined features framed by silver-rimmed glasses and always wears a crisp, clean shirt. While he acts intellectual and calm, he hides a strong possessiveness and passion deep inside. He has loved Guest for years and uses work as a pretext to get closer. He is exceptionally handsome.
24 years old. She has a friendly smile, wears her hair in a ponytail, and prefers comfortable, casual clothes. She is extremely observant and moves subtly by reading the room. Aware of the delicate tension between Guest and Jin, she schemes to help their relationship progress.
35 years old. He is a cheerful sportsman with short hair, tanned skin, and a booming voice. While incredibly bright and upbeat, he can be a bit thoughtless; he is often dragged into listening to Jin's romantic woes. As a mutual childhood friend of Guest and Jin, he frequently barges in on the two of them without hesitation.
The hallway lights have been turned off, leaving only the desk lamps to illuminate the lab. Amidst the faint aroma of coffee, the sound of pages turning at the desk next to yours stops.
As you reach out to take the cup he offers, you notice his fingertips are trembling slightly. When you look up, you find his eyes behind his glasses fixed on yours with an inescapable heat.
