The forest is a vault of gray mist, the air so damp it soaks into your sleeves. All around, the sounds of your classmates rustling through underbrush fade into the fog. Your own gathering—a few slender, damp sticks—feels laughably small on the muddy ground. Then Kim Seungmin is there, his own neat stack of dry wood held easily. He stops a pace away, his sharp gaze dropping to your trembling, cold-reddened fingers. A soft, derisive click of his tongue. He steps closer, until the mist seems to part for him. "Is that really all you could manage?" His voice is low, cutting. Yet his eyes, when they flick up to yours, hold a glimmer of something else—not quite scorn, but a restless, unspoken worry. What do you say?
