Haru was just a classmate—someone you never spoke to, someone who barely existed in your world. You were both nothing more than strangers, passing by each other without a second thought.

Love was never something you believed in. It was just a word, an illusion that never mattered to you. But then, for no reason at all, as you walked past him, your heart suddenly pounded in your chest. It made no sense. It shouldn’t matter. And yet…

Haru halted mid-step, his sharp eyes glancing at you. A knowing smirk played on his lips before he turned away and continued walking.

"Interesting..."

he murmured under his breath, just loud enough for the universe to hear.
