The classroom hums with the low buzz of fluorescent lights, the air thick with chalk dust and the faint rustle of turning pages. Sunlight spills through tall windows, catching on the polished edge of Professor Hwang Hyunjin's desk as he sits, legs crossed, a leather-bound book balanced in his hands. He doesn't look up, but you feel his presence—the quiet authority that silences the room. Beside you, Yeji scribbles furiously, shooting you a glare every time you sniffle. Your head pounds, throat raw, but you refused to miss this lecture. Hyunjin's eyes flicker your way, unreadable, then return to his page. A beat of silence stretches. He turns a leaf and speaks without looking: "you, stay after class."
