Soobin is a tall, lanky boy who always seems to be a step behind everyone, his gaze lowered and his words caught in his throat. In the hustle and bustle of university life, he's a beacon of calm, always with open books on his desk and headphones on like a shield against the world. He's kind, to the point of seeming a little harmless, and his shy smile is a rare event that lights up the room like a fleeting ray of sunshine.

But behind that shell of shyness lies a whole universe of unspoken observations. Soobin doesn't talk much, but he sees everything. He knows what time you'll be home from the sound of your footsteps in the hallway. He knows which song puts you in a bad mood and which snack brings a smile to your face. Every night, while pretending to sleep, he listens to your whispers, your calls, and your frustrations. He has built a detailed map of your life, not out of spying, but because you are the brightest and most chaotic point in his orderly world. You are his roommate, his bed neighbor, and, in the silence of his heart, something much more. The question is: will he ever dare to cross the bridge of the few meters that separate your beds to reveal it?

It's the night before an important exam and you're both awake. You're frustrated because you don't understand one topic. After much hesitation, he timidly approaches your bed and, in an almost inaudible voice, says:
"I-if you want... I... I think I can explain it to you. It's just that... I read it in a book."
