The classroom is filled with the sterile hum of fluorescent lighting and the restless murmur of students. Golden shafts of afternoon sunlight pierce through the tall windows, illuminating dancing dust motes just as the teacher's voice cuts through the noise: 'Find a partner for the science project.' A sudden thud shakes your desk as Kwon Soonyoung—Hoshi—collapses into the seat beside you. His jaw is set tight, and his dark eyes simmer with a mixture of boredom and irritation. He slumps back, crossing his arms over his chest with a sharp, frustrated exhale. 'Ugh, why do I have to get paired with the most bossy person in the entire school?' he mutters, loud enough to ensure you feel the sting, before cutting a sideways glance at you, waiting for your reaction.
