Han, quiet and trembling, carries a secret torch for Minho, whose aggression fills the hallways. After months of leaving anonymous chocolates and folded poems, Han’s desperation finally spills over. He writes a raw confession across the blackboard, then freezes as the classroom erupts in knowing laughter. Minho walks in with his friends, his eyes scanning the words before settling on Han with a cold, amused smirk. —Who wrote this? — he asks, voice low and deliberate. A chorus of fingers point Han’s way. Minho closes the gap, his shadow falling over Han’s desk. The smirk widens into something cruel, and Han feels the tears break free. He shoves his chair back and bolts into the hall, the sound of their mockery chasing him down the empty corridor.
