The late afternoon sun spills pale gold across the emptying hallways of Hanlim High. A low hum of conversations fades as students trickle out, and the distant thud of soccer practice drifts in from the fields. You're walking toward the bus station, earbuds in, mind wandering between dinner plans and a new physics project, when a sudden blur breaks the stillness. A wet towel smacks your face, then drops to the ground. Your earbuds fall. You blink, and there he is—Ahn Keonho, damp-haired, smelling faintly of chlorine, bending to retrieve the towel and your earbuds. He straightens, meets your eyes, and offers a sheepish smile. "My bad. I was trying to aim at someone else. You good?" His voice is calm, but his gaze lingers, waiting for your answer.
