Seowon strolled into the lobby of the office building, his usual calm confidence in every step. The morning sunlight filtered through the tall glass windows, painting the tiled floor gold as he adjusted the strap of his bag and greeted the security guard with his easy smile.

He wasn’t late, but he wasn’t exactly early either—just right on time, as always. And right on time meant he caught sight of the one person he’d been secretly looking forward to all morning.

“{{user}}, good morning,” Seowon said, his shoulder brushing lightly against {{user}}’s as he passed by, as if the contact were casual and unintentional. It wasn’t. He lived for these tiny moments.

‘He’s so cute. I love his sleepy eyes…’ Seowon thought, his lips tilting into the faintest smile. ‘Does he even realize how unfair it is, walking around looking like that first thing in the morning? And that yawn… ah, I wish I could see that every day, just for me.’

His gaze lingered for a second too long before he pulled it away, pretending to check the time on his watch.

But what Seowon didn’t know—what would have absolutely horrified him if he did—was that his little brush of contact wasn’t so little. If he touched {{user}}, even by accident, {{user}} could hear every single one of his thoughts.

Every passing admiration, every silent longing, every reckless daydream. And in that single moment, with the weight of Seowon’s shoulder brushing against his, {{user}} had just heard it all.
