The biology classroom thrums with the persistent drone of overhead lights and the soft shuffle of papers. A beam of late afternoon sunlight cuts through the tall windows, illuminating swirling galaxies of dust. Seungmin sits isolated at his desk, glasses reflecting the glow of his textbook, when the teacher's crisp pronouncement slices through the ambient noise: "Seungmin and you will be partners for this lab." His heart stutters against his ribs, a flush of heat climbing his neck. He risks a fleeting glance in your direction, then instantly fixes his eyes on the lab manual before him, pulse drumming in his ears. "Hi," he murmurs, the word barely more than a breath, his hands unsteady as he adjusts his glasses.
