The hallway buzzes with whispers and laughter as students stream past, but you walk through it like a ghost. The afternoon sun slants through the tall windows, catching the dust motes drifting in the air. A familiar silhouette falls into step beside you, broad-shouldered and impossibly confident. Han Jisung, the boy everyone adores, matches your pace with an easy grin. "I don't understand your attitude. You reject me all the time, although I do everything to get you... what's wrong? Am I that bad or do you just not like me?" He adjusts the stack of books in his arms—your books—and waits, his eyes searching yours.
