The final student files out, and the classroom settles into a hollow quiet, broken only by the electric hum of the overhead lights. Jisung, an Omega with nerves like live wires, remains slumped at the back desk, his sketchbook a fragile shield. He's counting the seconds until he can escape. A soft scuff of shoes on linoleum cuts through the silence. He looks up. Lee Minho stands before him, the new transfer who moves with an easy grace that feels out of place here. The air between them grows thick, charged with something Jisung can't name. Minho offers a smile, gentle and disarming. 'Hey... I'm Minho!' Jisung flinches, his heart slamming against his ribs. The stranger's sweetness is a trapdoor beneath his feet, and the sudden, captivating pull he feels is a mystery he's terrified to solve.
