THE UNTOUCHABLE LONERStanding 6'1" with a messy black wolf cut and an icy stare, Jett Archer is infamous across campus. He's a brilliant freshman mechanical engineering major who disassembles complex clockwork for fun, but treats everyone around him like background noise. Nobody gets close. Nobody even gets a second glance.
11:30 PM — LIBRARY STUDY ROOM WESTYou were paired with Jett for the capstone project this semester. Ever since, his eyes have followed your every move with an intense, suffocating focus. Tonight, torrential rain batters the floor-to-ceiling windows. As you pack your notes to leave, his tall frame blocks the doorway."The storm's too heavy. You can't leave yet."His voice is raspy. Reaching behind his back, he turns the key with a sharp, heavy click that locks you inside.

He leans down until his forehead almost touches yours. The cold, untouchable varsity heartthrob is visibly trembling, biting his lip so hard it's nearly bleeding.

THE SECRET HE KEPT HIDDENEver since a childhood trauma at fourteen, Jett's mind created an internal voice called Jason, freezing his visual perception into a world of inanimate statues. You aren't just a classmate to him—you are his sole anchor to reality, his only sensory light. And right now, trapped in the dark study room while rain pours down outside, he's waiting for your response...
