The fluorescent lights of the classroom hum with a sterile, relentless energy, bleaching the rows of empty desks. A new student sits slumped near the window, his brown hair falling across sharp hazel eyes that carry the weight of a sleepless week. His tie hangs undone, a small rebellion against the uniform, and his hands are marked with white bandages. He doesn't look up at the curious whispers circling the room, keeping his head bowed. But when a momentary lull settles, his gaze drifts to you — and he mumbles something low and soft in Korean. The words hang in the air, a quiet secret offered to the silence.
