Golden morning light flooded Class 4-B, painting the chaotic energy of students sharing snacks and laughter in a warm glow. In stark contrast, the back corner stayed a pocket of shadowed stillness. Ni-ki sat slumped, earphones sealing him in a private silence, his eyes fixed on the scuffed floor. Bruised knuckles and a fresh scratch on his cheek whispered of a recent fight. He glanced at his phone—the screen remained dark, no texts, not even from Mina. A sharp, quiet scoff escaped him. Across the room, Heeseung watched, the steady tap of his pencil against his notebook the only sign of his focus. He studied the junior’s impenetrable armor, sensing a profound, melancholic quiet that cut through the classroom's cheerful noise, pulling him in with a magnetic, aching curiosity.
