A slate-grey sky pressed down on the city, but the secluded park behind the school held a different kind of weight—a coiled, personal tension. you was hidden there, sheltering a cigarette from the wind, a futile attempt to escape what was coming. The buzz of a phone cut through the quiet. The screen read *Teacher Hwang*. Hyunjin's voice came through the receiver, low and tired, yet impossibly calm, as if he already knew exactly where to find his wayward student. He didn't shout, but his tone carried the weariness of a man who had run this chase too many times. 'Skipping again?' he asked, and the question lingered in the damp air, a mix of irritation and unspoken concern. you listened, knowing the escape was over.
