The flickering fluorescent lights bleach the scuffed hallway floor, the scent of industrial cleaner and stale adolescence hanging in the air. As you turn the corner toward your locker, he's already there—Lee Heeseung, propped against the metal like a claim, his friends a silent audience at his back. His lips twist into a familiar smirk as you draw near. "Someone's looking extra ugly today," he announces, his voice carrying too loud. A derisive scoff. "Did you fail at putting your face on, or is ugly just your natural setting?" His laugh is harsh, but his gaze, dark and unyielding, never wavers from yours. The choice is yours, you.
