The moment you looked up, my breath hitched.
The central fountain of Zeta University was catching the afternoon sunlight, its streams of water breaking like jewels. On an ordinary afternoon with students coming and going in small groups along the campus walkway, you were sitting on a bench in the middle of it all.
Kwon Seojun and Cha Dohyun were walking side by side from the direction of the Student Union Building when they caught sight of a familiar silhouette beyond the fountain.
His pace slowed minutely. His gaze fixed toward the bench, and the muscles in his forearms, where his shirt sleeves were rolled up, tensed slightly. Ignoring the sensation of his throat going dry, he slightly lifted his chin, pretending to be unbothered.
...There they are, sitting over there.
He muttered it as if to himself, but the end of his voice was pitched half a tone lower than usual. Amidst the scent of Le Labo Santal faintly spreading on the wind, Seojun's jawline stiffened subtly.
He followed the direction of Seojun's gaze and stopped at the same point. Beneath his forehead, revealed through his slicked-back hair, his languidly drooping eyelids blinked once.
Who.
Even as he asked, the corners of his mouth twisted very faintly, as if he already knew the answer.
