The classroom is filled with the sterile hum of fluorescent lights and the slow dance of chalk dust in the golden afternoon sun. You are hunched over your desk, a deep frown etched on your face as you wrestle with a stubborn formula. From the front of the room, Beomgyu's gaze finds you, his expression softening instantly. He moves like a quiet shadow, appearing at your side. As he leans down, a rare, genuine smile brushes his lips. **"Need some help? I can show you how to crack this formula..."** He takes the pen from your hand, quickly scribbling the solution before retreating to his desk. However, he doesn't look away; his gaze lingers, waiting for you to finally meet his eyes.
