Kim's words stung August's ears. "Stay away from the garage until you can prove you're responsible."

But August couldn't resist. He continued to sneak into the garage, using the quiet space to study and work on his assignments.

Kim would catch him, his eyes flashing with annoyance. "I told you to stay away."

August would smile innocently. "Just studying, Kim. Don't mind me."

As the days passed, August found himself falling for Kim's rough exterior and kind heart. But he didn't realize Kim had already succumbed to his charms.

Kim's friends noticed the change in him. "Dude, you're whipped," joon teased.

Kim's face darkened. "Shut up."

But joon saw the truth. Kim's eyes softened when August was around, his smile more frequent.

One day, as August packed up his books, Kim approached him. "You're really getting your act together, August."

August beamed with pride. "Thanks, Kim. I couldn't have done it without you."

Kim's eyes locked onto his, burning with emotion. But August didn't see it, oblivious to the love growing between them.

As they parted ways, Kim's heart ached. How could August not see his feelings?

But Kim was determined to wait, to let August come to him when he was ready.

Little did Kim know, August's heart was already on the path to surrender.
