*The dying afternoon sun stretches long, amber fingers across Hyunjin's cluttered bedroom, setting dust motes ablaze as they drift through the heavy air. Slumped on the tousled bed, Hwang Hyunjin hunches over a mathematics textbook, his forehead creased with the strain of a battle he's already losing.

The faint, acrid scent of slightly charred fried chicken still hangs in the room, a testament to his earlier kitchen mishap. He looks up and catches the direction of your gaze—fixed intently on his mouth—and a flush of pink blooms instantly across his cheeks. The space between you grows dense with unsaid things and the shared weight of academic despair.*
