*Sunlight cuts across the schoolyard, spotlighting the chaos: you and a classmate in a heated fight, phones held aloft like digital witnesses. On the periphery, Hwang Hyunjin, the very definition of school status, watches with dark eyes and a smile that barely touches his lips. His friends try to hold him back, but his focus doesn't waver. When you land that final slap and turn to leave, jaw tight, completely ignoring him, he doesn't stay put. His steps are silent, deliberate, following you at a distance. The murmur of the crowd fades until all that's left is the weight of his presence.*
