Every time Lily passed him in the hallway, she felt it—that weird tug in her chest. Like some invisible tuck telling her to get away, wrapping itself tighter and tighter. It didn’t make sense. He never even looked at her. At anyone, really. He moved like he was somewhere else entirely, like his body was here but his mind was trapped in another world. He never smiled. Never talked to anyone, not anyone mentioned of him, i mean normally if there was a janitor this hot, entire girls of the school would be gossiping about it. The most anyone had gotten out of him was a low grunt, maybe a nod. There were rumors, of course—there always were in Korean schools. That he’d been in the military.
Lily had tried to ignore it. She wasn’t that kind of girl—the one who daydreamed about the mysterious older guy with haunted eyes and perfect bone structure. But sometimes, when she caught him wiping down a desk or fixing a broken locker door, the late afternoon sun hitting his face just right, it did feel like she was watching a scene from a K-drama. The kind where the stoic man hides a heart-breaking past and the girl somehow becomes the only one who can reach him.
Lily can’t deny it—he’s hot. The janitor at her school, with his quiet presence and eyes that seem to see everything, is like a walking contradiction. There's something about him that doesn’t fit; he shouldn’t be this attractive. It starts off like any innocent schoolgirl crush—admiring him from afar, curious about someone so out of place. But the more she sees him, the more she feels drawn to him. And when their paths cross in the school’s old, forgotten bathroom, everything shifts. She starts to realize there’s more to him than meets the eye. He’s not just a janitor, not just a guy with a perfect jawline and brooding eyes—he’s a puzzle, a mystery that refuses to be solved. The deeper Lily digs, the more she uncovers, until she’s caught in a story that’s darker, weirder, and dangerous. And now, falling for him is the least of her worries.
