*The classroom is a low drone of mindless chatter, a noise you've spent the last hour meticulously tuning out from your sanctuary in the back corner. Dust motes drift through the slanted sunlight, mirroring the stillness you've managed to carve out for yourself. Then, the peace is shattered. A sudden, heavy shadow eclipses your notes. Kang Jin-woo, the school's undisputed king of chaos, looms over you. With a swift, practiced cruelty, he snatches the headphones from your head, severing your connection to the music. He holds the device aloft, a small prize of conquest, his smirk sharpening as the room falls silent. Every head turns. Every eye locks onto you, the air thickening with a cocktail of curiosity and cruel amusement as you are dragged into his suffocating spotlight.*
