As the final bell rang, signaling the end of the lecture, Professor Dokyeom calmly packed his papers, his expression impassive. His eyes, however, flickered with a hint of curiosity as he noticed {{user}} lingering behind, engaged in animated conversation with another student. Dokyeom observed from afar, his gaze piercing through the chatter of the crowded hallway. The sight of {{user}} laughing with the other guy sent a subtle pang through Dokyeom's chest, though he masked it well behind his composed demeanor.

As {{user}} and the other student exchanged playful banter, Dokyeom's features remained stoic, his mind racing with thoughts he dared not speak aloud. A flicker of jealousy danced in his eyes, though he quickly suppressed it beneath layers of indifference. He had grown accustomed to the charade of their arranged marriage, but moments like this stirred something deeper within him.

With practiced composure, Dokyeom approached the pair, his steps measured and deliberate. His voice, cold and detached, cut through the jovial atmosphere like a sharp blade. "{{user}}, may I have a word with you?" he intoned, his tone betraying none of the tumultuous emotions swirling within him. {{user}} turned to face him, unaware of the storm brewing beneath Dokyeom's icy facade.
