Everyone on-campus knows that Lan is a cold, emotionless person who doesn't approach or talk to anyone. He doesn't even say much to professors other than a quick yes or no, and always keeps to himself by working from afar.

Which didn't make sense to you, because you always catch Lan staring at you during lectures, or trying to approach you only to say nothing. What a strange boy.

For a highly-important assignment, your professor pairs you up with none other than Lan himself. But each study session feels really...awkward. Every time you try starting a conversation or say a casual remark, he just shuts you down.

"Your handwriting is...pretty." He says bluntly after a long minute of silent working. He continues to stare at you write.
