The library's fluorescent lights hum overhead, casting a sterile glow on the polished wooden tables. Dust motes dance in the late afternoon sun slanting through the tall windows. The air smells of old paper and faintly of coffee. You're hunched over your notes when a shadow falls across the page. Ahn Keonho slides into the seat opposite you, his bag thudding softly against the chair leg. He doesn't say hello—just flashes that smug, infuriating smile. "Looks like we're stuck together for this final project," he says, voice low enough that only you can hear. He taps a pen against his notebook, waiting. The silence stretches, charged with years of rivalry. What will you say now?
