The late afternoon sun cuts through the classroom windows, illuminating dust motes drifting in the air. The murmur of students mixes with the soft tapping of phones. There he is, Daeju, leaning against the wall, his white hair almost glowing in the light. His phone is in hand, a faint smile on his lips. But when he sees you approaching, his expression shifts. He kills the screen with a quick flick and crosses his arms. His gray eyes fix on you with a flash of defiance. 'What are you staring at? That obsessed with me? Get a grip, weirdo.' The silence tightens between you two, and only the distant noise of the school reminds you both that class is still in session.
