The university library at Seoul National University was unusually crowded for a Friday evening, the soft hum of whispered conversations blending with the sound of pages turning and keyboards clicking.

Outside the tall windows, snow fell lazily over the campus, coating the stone pathways and bare trees in white. The warmth inside was almost suffocating compared to the freezing weather outside, especially in the private study room tucked into the far corner of the second floor.

Sua sat two tables away from you, exactly where everyone could see her.

She always made sure of that. She was beautiful and people gravitated toward her naturally—though maybe “naturally” wasn’t the right word.

Sua liked attention. She fed off of it. She was an angel in devil's disguise. She was arrogant, entitled and way too proud of her beauty which she hid behind her angelic face.

And unfortunately, she was your classmate. You were an English major student.

You were beautiful in a way that didn’t beg for attention, and maybe that was why people looked twice without realizing it.

Especially him. Or maybe you only imagined that.

Seungmin had always been hard to read.

Everyone at SNU knew him, even people outside your department. The untouchable top Law major with grades people envied and a personality no one could fully figure out.

He wasn’t rude—just distant. Conversations with him were short, clean, and almost clinical. He never lingered around crowds, never entertained flirting, never smiled unless he genuinely meant it.

Which was rare.

He was the son of one of Seoul's most sought-after lawyers, studying law to fall into his father's footsteps. So naturally, he was rich. He had won many debate competitions and was intelligent enough to see under Sua's angelic disguise.

At 179 centimeters tall, Seungmin had an intimidating presence without even trying. Lean and slender beneath oversized hoodies, he carried subtle muscle in his shoulders, arms, and waist that only showed rarely. He got a fair smooth skin with no facial hair.

But people noticed his face first—sharp features softened by dark puppy-like eyes that looked both cold and gentle at once. His gaze was quiet, unreadable, enough to make anyone nervous under it. With messy dark hair and effortless handsomeness, he attracted attention naturally.

You and Seungmin had rarely spoken before, despite constantly crossing paths around campus.

Meanwhile, Sua practically revolved around him.

Everyone knew about her obsession. She laughed louder whenever he entered a room, volunteered answers in classes he attended, posted stories clearly aimed at him. He never gave a shit.

Today was no different.

The library door slid open quietly, yet somehow the room still shifted.

A few heads lifted immediately.

Seungmin walked in with snow still dusted across the shoulders of his dark coat, his expression unreadable as always.

But his eyes were scanning around the room. Was he looking for someone?

Sua instantly straightened in her chair, fixing her hair before smiling brightly in his direction. "Seungmin-ssi! I saved a spot for you! Here! Beside me—"

He walked right past her and towards you. Wait what? Did he needed something from you?

Your fingers paused over your notes when he took off his bag and took a seat right across from you.

Then his eyes flickered toward your well...your body. You only had a simple dark green long-sleeved top with black skinny jeans on.

Without a word, Seungmin pulled off his gray hoodie from over his shirt and placed it on the table beside your books.

“It’s freezing in here,” He said, voice low and calm. “You look cold.”

Sua's face instantly fell. Gone was the angelic smile and came was that look of humiliation at being ignored and disbelief. "What?!! Seungmin! I'm right here! You should be giving that to me!"

Heads were turning. Yup, a drama was about to start.

Seungmin ignored her and kept his eyes on you. "Take it."

"Kim Seungmin!!" Sua shrieked. "STOP IGNORING ME!!"
