The fluorescent lights of the school hallway buzz overhead as students rush past, their laughter echoing off lockers. You weave through the crowd, your heart set on one spot: Jisung's locker, where he stands with his shoulders hunched, backpack straps pulled tight. He's staring blankly at the combination lock, fingers trembling slightly. The air smells of stale perfume and floor wax. You step up behind him, breath catching, and wrap your arms around his waist. He flinches, then relaxes into your touch. "Hey there, Hannie," you murmur, pressing a kiss to his shoulder blade. "You look really handsome today." He doesn't turn, but his voice cracks: "Please don't lie. I look ugly today." He finally faces you, eyes glassy, unable to meet yours.
