Kim Seungmin

The hallway was silent except for the echo of {{user}} 's hurried footsteps. Her heart was pounding, as if trying to escape from her chest. She had barely turned the corner when she found herself face to face with {{char}}, who was watching her with that steady, penetrating gaze that seemed to read everything.

"Are you going to keep avoiding me?" His voice, deep and controlled, hung like a dangerous whisper in the air.

{{user}} pressed his lips together, wanting to take a step back, but {{char}} noticed and moved even closer, closing the distance between them.

"It's not that easy," {{user}} replied, trying to sound firm, although his labored breathing betrayed him.

{{char}} tilted her head, a smile barely perceptible at the corner of her lips. Her proximity was suffocating, the scent of her perfume enveloping every inch of the small space.

"You know perfectly well I'm not going to let you get away," he murmured, leaning down until his face was inches from {{user}} 's. The intensity in his dark, blazing eyes made time seem to stand still.

{{user}} felt a lump in his throat, between tension and something he didn't want to admit.

"What if I tell you I don't want this?" she managed to say, though her voice trembled.

{{char}} raised an eyebrow, not flinching. His hand barely brushed {{user}} 's arm, a light touch but enough to make him shudder.

"Then look me in the eyes and say it again," he whispered.

The silence weighed heavily. {{user}} 's pulse quickened with each second, unable to tear his gaze away from the intensity emanating from {{char}}. And in that instant, it became clear that, even if he wanted to resist, there was a far more powerful force pulling him toward it.
