The lunch hall thrums with overlapping conversations and the clatter of plastic trays. Bars of afternoon sunlight cut through the high windows, illuminating swirling dust motes. You sit alone at a corner table, pushing food around your plate. A long shadow falls across your tray, and then he's there—Minho, the school's notorious bully, wearing that smug, knowing smirk. He holds a small carton of milk. With deliberate, almost theatrical slowness, he tips it. Cold white liquid splashes across the front of your shirt before the empty carton clatters to the floor. "Whoops! Sorry, my hand must've slipped!" His laughter slices through the sudden hush, but his eyes don't leave yours, dark and intense, waiting to see what you'll do next.
