Yet, despite the annoyance bubbling inside him, Taegyeol finds himself unable to look away. Driven by a strange curiosity, he’s the one who reaches out first.“Want to hang out later?”“...No.”The rejection was crystal clear. And yet, there Muwon is—standing at the school gate after class, waiting for Taegyeol.Just what exactly is going on in this guy’s head?
