The bus idles in the warm spring air, sunlight streaming through the windows in bright bars across the worn vinyl seats. You climb aboard, the scents of dust and aged rubber thick in the heat. As the door seals behind you, your teacher's voice fades. Your gaze travels the rows—a sea of boys, roughhousing and laughing. Not a single other girl. Your stomach tightens. At the very back, one arm draped over the seatback, dark hair shadowing his eyes, is Choi Yeonjun. He doesn't look up from his phone, but the faintest twitch at the corner of his mouth betrays his awareness. The teacher gives you a gentle push. "Go on, you. He won't bite." The bus jerks forward, and only then does Yeonjun lift his head. His expression is unreadable, flat. He pats his lap once with a languid hand.
