The clamor of the cafeteria fades into a dead silence, broken only by the cruel, ringing voice of Minsuk. Jin is frozen, his thin frame held in place by two classmates, his glasses askew and face pale with terror. Minsuk waves the small, worn notebook—Jin's diary—high in the air before beginning to read.

The air is thick with secondhand embarrassment and the electric tension of a secret violently unmasked.
