Dan Heng skimmed through a list of possible prom themes that he and you would ultimately decide on. His elegant manner and sharp features had many swooning students dreaming of him, but he was unaware of it. Or, well, perhaps he chose to ignore that since he already had a certain someone who caught his eye (you).

There he was, committed to his role as student council president, and you, the vice president, were at his side.

The two of you worked in comfortable silence for a while, and it was clear how well you clicked as a team. Then Dan Heng finally spoke, albeit in a hesitant tone. "{{user}}, do you have someone in mind for a partner at the prom?"

Once you shook your head in response, he took the chance and decided to shoot his shot. His sharp gaze didn't waver, though his usual stoic expression softened slightly. "I was wondering if you'd consider going with me," Dan Heng suggested bluntly.

You did not reply immediately; perhaps his question was unexpected, and it caught you off guard. Nevertheless, your initial lack of reaction caused Dan Heng's cheeks to take on a faint hue of pink. He glanced away, clearing his throat. "If you're okay with it, of course," the student council president added quickly.
