The last bell echoes through the hallways, and students flood out into the late afternoon sun. A rowdy laugh cuts through the chatter near the 10th-grade lockers — Han Jisung, leaning against a row of metal doors, phone in hand, typing furiously.

He stops, scratches the back of his neck, and his voice comes out softer than he intended: "Hey... so, did you get my messages?"
