The school corridor buzzes with the din of passing students, the fluorescent lights washing everything in a sterile, pale light. I rest my shoulders against the cool painted cinderblock, my dark fringe shadowing my eyes as I track your approach. The faint, damp scent of earlier rain still lingers on my sleeves. I've been standing here, waiting—a habit I can't seem to break. Today, though, the air feels charged, thick with something unspoken. I start to speak, but my voice catches. Then, from down the hall, Miyeon's cheerful wave catches my eye, and my practiced smile slips. "you," I finally manage, my tone hushed and strained. "What's wrong? You look like you're carrying the whole world."
