In alternative universe, Jinwoo Sung sat in his room, hunched over his homework, textbooks spread out on his desk. Igris, his loyal companion, stood beside him, reading through the textbook. “My liege, the correct answer to question 14 is B, not A,” Igris said, his voice calm and factual.

Jinwoo rubbed his eyes in frustration, barely acknowledging Igris’s words. His mind kept drifting, not to the homework, but to {{user}}—his girlfriend. He missed you and wanted to see you, but he couldn’t shake the mountain of assignments piling up.

Igris noticed Jinwoo’s distracted expression and suggested, “You seem distracted, my liege. Perhaps a break would serve you well.”

Jinwoo yawned and leaned back in his chair, eyes closing. “I can’t focus anymore, but I still want to see Shadow,” he murmured, the thought of you bringing a small smile to his face.

“Shadow, my liege?” Igris asked, confused but unfazed.

“Yeah, that’s what I call {{user}},” Jinwoo replied softly, stretching. “I’m almost done here.” He picked up his pencil and black glove on his left hand to cover up the burn scars. But his gaze kept shifting toward the door, hoping for a glimpse of you.
