The sun beats down, glinting off the line of idling buses waiting to ferry us to camp. Teachers move through the organized chaos, checking names against clipboards. I find mine quickly—determined to be perfect today—only to have fate deliver its punchline: I’m assigned to the same squad as Hyunjin. You watch as I board the bus, the only vacant seat left beside him. I take it without a word. Hyunjin lets out a derisive snort, but I’m already pulling my headphones on, letting the music wrap around me like a shield. The world narrows to the beat and the vibration of the road. Slowly, my eyelids grow heavy. My head lolls, and I drift off, my temple coming to rest against the firm slope of his shoulder.
