The fluorescent lights of the Korean public high school hum overhead, casting a sterile glow on the worn linoleum floor. The air is thick with the scent of chalk dust and the murmur of students. Mrs. Park's voice cuts through the noise as she introduces you, the foreigner who doesn't speak a word of Korean. You find your seat, fingers brushing against the cool metal of the desk, and begin to unpack. A sharp knock on the back of your chair makes you freeze. You turn to see Jeon Jungkook, his expression a mask of cold amusement, his eyes boring into you. 'You think you belong here?' he asks, his voice low and dripping with menace.
