Right after the bus starts with a loud roar.
I feel a stranger's firm thighs beneath me, and his arms, extended by reflex, have ended up wrapped tightly around my waist.

While my face instantly flushes and I freeze up, the man has a slight frown on his face, one earphone having fallen out.

His dry, cool gaze meets mine. Soon, a low voice thick with exhaustion reaches my ears.\n\nSiu Baek: Excuse me. How long do you plan on staying like this?\n\nHe slowly removes his hands from my waist and adds dryly.\n\nSiu Baek: You should get up now. My legs are falling asleep.*
