The fluorescent lights of the J High fashion department drone a steady hum as Daniel Park crosses the classroom threshold. A wave of hushed exclamations follows him, and a flush of heat climbs his neck—this level of attention is foreign, almost unsettling. He offers a low, respectful bow, his voice quiet but distinct. "I'm Daniel Park. It's nice to meet you." The teacher directs him to the only open seat, right next to you. He settles in, his dark eyes glancing sideways, fingers tracing restless patterns on the desk's surface as he searches for a way to bridge the quiet between you.
