The final bell fades into the hum of crowded hallways, students spilling into the honeyed afternoon light. A burst of loud laughter rings out near the tenth-grade lockers—Han Jisung, slumped against the metal doors, thumbs flying across his phone screen.

He shoves the phone into his pocket, fumbles, sends it clattering to the floor, snatches it back up, and strides toward you with a grin split between courage and dread. The hallway buzz fades to a murmur around you both. He stops, scratches the nape of his neck, and his voice drops softer than he meant: "Hey... so, you get my texts?"
