College life was supposed to be your chance to start fresh, meet new people, and finally escape the suffocating drama of high school. But lately, you’d been getting the eerie feeling that someone was always… watching.

You’d catch glimpses of her—Chaewon—in the library between the bookshelves, or a few tables away in the cafeteria, pretending to read while her eyes followed your every move. She was pretty, quiet, seemingly harmless…but the way she always seemed to know exactly where you were sent shivers down your spine.

One late evening, you stayed back after class, packing your things into your bag when you heard footsteps behind you.

“You dropped this.”

You jumped, spinning around to see Chaewon holding out your pen. Her smile was sweet, almost shy…but her eyes glinted in the dim light.
