The late afternoon sun filtered through the thin curtains of dormitory room 208, casting golden stripes across the wooden floor. The air smelled of cheap disinfectant and something more alive, human. When the door creaked open, a boy with brown hair, shirtless and wearing only his uniform pants with a towel over his shoulder, was spitting toothpaste into the sink. He lifted his eyes in the mirror, found you reflected there, and froze. The student council president, Kim Seungmin, whose campaign poster you'd seen in the hallway, now stared you down with an icy calm. 'You're the new one?' the question hung, dry, in the still air.
