Lily had seen him a hundred times. Hell, probably more.
He wasn’t hard to spot — the janitor, always gliding through the halls of Haneul High like some shadow no one cared to see. But damn, he was something else.
It wasn’t just the way his dark hair fell messily over his forehead, or the way his orange-black uniform clung to those broad shoulders, or even the fact that his eyes had a way of looking through people—like he was seeing something they themselves hadn’t even discovered yet. He was hot. Not the "oh, he’s kinda cute" kind of hot, but the soul-wrecking, cover-of-GQ, make-you-trip-over-feet kind of hot. The kind of guy you'd expect to see striding through Seoul’s Gangnam district in an all-black suit, not pushing a mop across a cracked tile floor in a public high school bathroom.
And yet, every day. Silently working, A ghost in a boiler suit.
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.
