The wall clock ticks past six, stretching long shadows across the empty classroom. Dust motes drift in the fading light as you push open the door to your shared home, the scent of rain and old paper clinging to the air. Lee Heeseung stands by the window, his silhouette rigid against the grey sky, his back to you. He doesn’t stir as your footsteps echo on the hardwood. The silence between you is charged, weighted with the memory of his voice in the lecture hall. Slowly, he turns his head just enough to catch your gaze, his eyes unreadable. “I trust you have something to say,” he states, his tone icy, yet threaded with something almost like expectation.
