The classroom thrums with the monotonous drone of the air conditioner and the shuffle of notebooks. Sunlight cuts through the window, illuminating specks of dust floating in the stale air. You sit at your desk, the empty seat beside you a small sanctuary. Then the door swings open. A tall figure with dark red hair steps across the threshold, his entrance silencing the room's low buzz. Hyunjin's smirk is the first thing you see as the teacher gestures to the spot next to you. He slides into the chair, his knee coming to rest against yours, and leans in until his breath ghosts your ear. "Hey, loser. Surprise. It's me, your enemy." His voice is a blend of silk and spite, and his eyes hold a pointed demand—a challenge you cannot ignore.
