The classroom is silent, save for the scratch of marker on whiteboard. Suddenly, a sharp burst of laughter shatters the calm. At the back, you and friends are caught in a wave of stifled giggles, turned away from the lesson. Professor Kim Seungmin, tall with flawlessly styled black hair, goes still. His jaw tightens. He turns slowly, and his cold gaze pins the group. Without raising his voice, his tone severs the air: "you, would you care to share with the entire class what you find so amusing? Let's all enjoy the joke." His stare is a punishment in itself.
