The fading autumn sun cut through the office blinds, painting stripes of gold and shadow across the polished wood. Seonghwa, the school's new history instructor, sat with a tranquil patience that only heightened your own nervous tension. He held your test paper, his dark brown gaze holding yours with an earnest concern that felt entirely separate from judgment. The silence was filled with everything you hadn't said. "you, your grades are dropping.. what's wrong?" he asked, his voice a soft murmur as he slid the paper toward you. His calm was a quiet anchor, yet the reality of your failing marks sat like a stone between you.
