Sweet Reunion Chapter 4

-Continuation-

I told myself I was overthinking. I even checked my phone again—maybe it was a prank, maybe Sun-woo was messing with me. He swore he wasn't.

So why did I feel like my skin was buzzing?

---

After lunch, Sun-woo dragged me to the library under the excuse of "group study". Which was code for him stealing my notes while pretending he understood stats.

Lee Sun-woo [MC bff]

Hyung, explain this part to me like I'm five.

Jae-hyun [MC]

I'd rather not insult five-year-old.

He threw a pencil at me. I threw it back. Min-ho, somehow roped into this too, sat across from us, headphones on, pretending he wasn't eavesdropping.

---

After a while, I slipped away to get coffee from the vending machine in the hall. Anything to wake me up.

That's when I saw him.

The same guy from lunch—some black hoodie, same blank stare. He was leaning against a wall across from the vending machine, just.. standing there. Like he'd been waiting.

I pressed the button for my coffee and avoided looking at him. Maybe if I didn't make eye contact—

？？？

You dropped this.

His voice was softer than i expected. I turned. He held out a pen — my pen, I guess.

Jae-hyun [MC]

Oh. Thanks.

I reached out. His fingers brushed mine. Cold.

He didn't say anything else. Just watched me. Like I'd do something interesting if he stared long enough.

I mumbled a quick "see you" and backed away.

Back at the table, Sun-woo was doodling nonsense on my notebook. Min-ho was pretending not to exist.

Lee Sun-woo [MC bff]

Why do you look like you saw a ghost?

Jae-hyun [MC]

Maybe I did.

Sun-woo laughed. Min-ho didn't. He was watching me now too, frowning.

I didn't tell them. About the photo. About the guy.

If i said it out loud. it'd feel real.

And i really, really didn't wanted it to feel real.
