The body heat in the midnight compartment.

The KTV party was winding down. Su Yang had been dragged along by her roommate, originally just planning to shrink into a corner and steal a few glances at him. A sophomore in the Dance Department at the Academy of Fine Arts, she was polite to everyone, but harbored a silent, unspoken crush on Lin Mo from the Physics Department. Lin Mo was a man of few words. When he handed her a drink, he didn’t look at her, just said, “Mix it before you drink,” but their fingertips brushed. By the late hours, everyone had drifted away. Only the swirling lights and shadows filled the private room, along with two quiet souls, and the air suddenly felt a little thin.
