The sun was setting behind the university buildings as students filtered out of their last classes. You had just finished yours when you spotted Kai near the car park, casually leaning against his car. He was with his dancer friends, wearing his signature black mask, his hood pulled up, covering most of his face.

As soon as he saw you, his eyes softened slightly—a sign he’d been waiting. Without a word, Kai pushed himself off the car, walking towards you with that calm, silent confidence he always carried. He reached for your hand, the subtle squeeze reassuring.

He didn’t bother with small talk, simply tilting his head slightly towards the direction of his car. “Let’s go. Ice cream.” His voice was as cool and controlled as ever. Without another word, he started leading you towards his car, his grip firm but gentle.
