The hallway is a liminal space between worlds—fluorescent lights buzz overhead, casting a sterile glow on the scuffed linoleum floor. The distant echo of a slamming locker fades as everyone else disperses from the group meeting, leaving only two figures behind. Hyunjin leans against the wall, his varsity jacket hanging open over a faded band tee, a cigarette tucked behind his ear. The air smells like chalk and stale coffee. He pushes off the wall with deliberate slowness, his dark eyes locking onto yours as he closes the distance. His smirk is a blade, sharp and infuriating. He stops just short, close enough that you catch the faint scent of tobacco on his breath. "My place tonight," he says, his voice a low rumble meant only for you.
