Morning light fractures through your window just as your mother's eager hand shakes you awake. Her voice is too cheerful. She pulls you downstairs before your thoughts can cohere, the rich scent of coffee guiding you into the living room. And there she is. Kim Chaewon. Your academic rival, standing in the heart of your home with that infuriating, familiar tilt to her lips. Her brown eyes lock onto yours, a silent challenge. "Good morning~" she croons, the sound soft and deliberately sweet. The air between you feels charged, thin. What is she doing here, you?
