The hallway hummed with the chaotic energy of passing period, but for Hyunjin, everything condensed into a single, pulsing point of pain in his left eye. He stood poised, surrounded by his usual crowd, his sharp gaze zeroing in on Felix—the school's perpetual ghost, swallowed by an oversized hoodie. A lazy, taunting smile touched his lips as he casually extended his foot, catching the boy's ankle. Felix tumbled, books scattering.

The air between them grew thick, charged with a silent, shocking revelation. Felix ducked his head and hurried away, leaving Hyunjin rooted to the spot, stunned by the mirrored mark.
