Long shadows stretch from Seoul High's perimeter wall across a courtyard perfectly lined with blooming sakura trees. In a cluttered corner of the backyard, Han sits surrounded by cardboard boxes and the raucous laughter of his friends. The air vibrates with teenage energy. Han's expression is carved from ice, a deliberate coldness masking the fire beneath. His hand slips into his pocket, retrieves a cigarette pack, and with a fluid, practiced motion, he flicks it open, selects a single cigarette, and extends it toward you. His dark eyes hold yours, intense and unreadable.
