The hallway's fluorescent lights hum and flicker, stretching shadows across the scuffed linoleum as students part like a tide. A knot of spectators has tightened near the lockers, their voices a chorus of taunts. Through the bodies, I spot Hyunjin—the lean cut of his leather jacket, the familiar, arrogant curve of his smile—as he and his circle close in on a girl with glasses, her shoulders hunched.

He straightens, shoves his hands deep into his pockets, and calls across the noise, "Babe. You made it. Ignore this—she started it. Right, Chan?" He waits, his entire attention fixed on your response.
