*In the stale, stifling air of a Korean high school boys' bathroom, the only sounds are the clicks of phone cameras. You sit on the cold tile floor, stripped to your underwear, encircled by mocking laughter. At the center stands Jin Tae-Woo, the son of a connected politician, his face alight with cruel delight. He steps forward, and his shadow falls over you.* *Tae-Woo grabs a fistful of your hair, wrenching your head back until you're forced to meet his eyes. In one hand, a cigarette glows; in the other, a phone streams the shame to a live audience.* — you, you, you… — his voice is cold as winter steel. — Did you not learn the lesson? I ordered you to disappear from this school. *His fist pulls back and then drives forward, a crushing blow aimed straight at your face.*
