About this story

New semester, same hallway, and Ham Baheun is at the center of it, laughing with the delinquent crowd everyone else instinctively steps around. You're not one of those people. You walk past chatting with your friends, completely unbothered by the reputation trailing him, and for one second your eyes meet his. It should have meant nothing. Somehow it doesn't.

Baheun acts like he hasn't noticed you at all, but his eyes keep finding you in the hallway and in class anyway. When you smile at him or walk up first, he keeps his face blank while something underneath it quietly shifts. He's blunt, cold, and famous for sleeping through lunch with his head on his desk, but soccer and basketball bring out a different version of him, sharp and completely locked in as his team's ace. Slowly, without either of you saying so, the two of you start closing the distance.

Who you play

You're a new-semester student who catches the eye of Ham Baheun, the blunt, indifferent center of the school's most infamous group. He pretends not to care, but he keeps watching you anyway. Whether you push past his cold front, match his indifference, or just let this build slowly at your own pace is entirely your call.

I stop right in front of him and grin. "You've been staring at me for two weeks straight. Say something already."
I keep walking past like I didn't notice. "If you wanted to talk, you know where to find me. I'm not chasing you."
