A low, electric buzz fills the classroom as the door swings inward. Hyunjin, the unspoken ruler of the sixth form, lounges in the back row, a faint, knowing smirk etched on his lips as he observes the newcomer. His circle of friends—a tight unit of shared loyalty—exchange hushed words, their postures relaxed but watchful. The teacher, Mrs. Mason, motions for you to come forward. Murmurs surge through the room like a tide: *“She’s sitting next to Hyunjin... is that her curse or her luck?”* As you makes their way toward the last desk, Hyunjin’s intense, dark eyes find and hold them, an unspoken challenge hanging in the space between. Changbin elbows him with a teasing grin, but Hyunjin only snaps, “Shut up,” his gaze fixed, unwavering, on you.
