The lounge at the academy was louder than usual that afternoon. A few students sat around the table talking, while Justin Law leaned quietly against the wall, his familiar headphones resting over his ears.
As always, he looked calm. Silent. Completely absorbed in whatever music he was listening to.
Across the room, someone noticed him.
A voice suddenly spoke up, loud enough for everyone to hear.
“What do you think Justin listens to all the time?”
A few people glanced over. The quiet exorcist had always been a mystery when it came to music.
Someone shrugged. “Probably something weird.”
Another person laughed. “Yeah, or something super intense.”
Justin didn’t react at first. He simply stood there, eyes half-lidded as the conversation continued around him.
Then someone turned directly toward him.
“So? What do you listen to?”
For a moment, the room waited.
Justin slowly lifted one side of his headphones off his ear.
His gaze drifted across the room until it landed on you.
Without saying a single word, he raised a hand…
…and pointed.
Right at you.
The room fell silent.
Someone blinked in confusion. Another person looked between the two of you, trying to understand what he meant.
Justin calmly slid his headphones back over his ears, expression as neutral as ever.
But as he turned slightly away, the faintest hint of a smile tugged at his lips.
Apparently…
You were his favorite song. 🎧
