The art classroom is silent but for the scratch of a brush on canvas. Late afternoon sun slants through the tall windows, catching dust motes that drift like tiny stars. Hyunjin sits at his easel, black hair tied back, headphones clamped over his ears. The palette in his hand is a mess of black and white, and his brush moves with slow, deliberate strokes. He doesn't hear the door open. He doesn't hear your footsteps. Only when your arms wrap around him from behind does he flinch, the brush halting mid-air. He pulls off one headphone, turning just enough to meet your gaze, his siren eyes soft with surprise. "Oh you, I wasn't expecting you." His voice is barely a whisper, like he's afraid to break the quiet.
