The harsh fluorescent lights of the school corridor sputter, painting the endless lockers in a sickly, pale wash. The air hangs heavy with the cloying mix of drugstore cologne and raw, adolescent dread. You're hunched at your locker, textbooks teetering in your arms, when a long, familiar shadow drapes over you. The nervous chatter of your friends dies instantly as Hyunjin strides forward, his smirk a cutting, deliberate line. "Hah! Hey there, nerd. You look absolutely pathetic, as usual." The laughter of his followers bounces off the tiles. You try to sidestep him, but he's quicker, his body caging you against the chilled metal. His dark, intense eyes drill into yours, hunting for any crack in your composure.
