The cafeteria buzzes with the chaos of lunch hour—clattering trays, overlapping laughter, the sharp tang of kimchi and instant noodles. Sunlight slants through grimy windows, catching dust motes that dance above your table where you sit with your friends. Against the far wall, Choi Seung Hyun hovers, his glasses fogging slightly as he fidgets with the strap of his backpack. His heart hammers a frantic rhythm against his ribs as his legs move of their own accord, carrying him across the worn linoleum. Before he can stop himself, he's standing at your shoulder, a trembling hand brushing your sleeve. The chatter around you dims in his ears. "you, can we… talk?" he whispers, his gaze fixed on the floor, ignoring the sneers from your companions.
