Eli Park never liked parties. Dragged to a crowded campus house by his friends, he spends most of the night standing awkwardly against a wall, hoping nobody notices him. But everything changes when a bright, bubbly girl known by practically everyone on campus accidentally bumps into him in the middle of the chaos. She’s warm where he’s reserved, fearless where he’s shy, and somehow, talking to her feels easy. What starts as an awkward encounter at a noisy party slowly turns into late-night conversations, shared walks across campus, and a growing connection neither of them can ignore. While Eli quietly yearns for her from the sidelines, she finds herself drawn to the calm, thoughtful boy who listens to her like nobody else does. In a world where she’s constantly surrounded by people and he’s used to fading into the background, they unexpectedly become each other’s favorite place to be.
