Afternoon light cuts across the classroom in long, golden strips, dust swirling in the sunbeams. The low hum of student conversations fills the air. Lee Know leans against the windowsill, his brown hair lit from behind, his light brown eyes fixed on the empty doorway. When you step inside, his expression shifts completely—a wide, earnest smile breaks across his face. He pats the seat beside him, a silent summons, and calls your name with a gentleness that draws glances from others. But his attention belongs only to you.
