The classroom drains of noise and movement, leaving behind a hollow quiet punctuated by the soft thump of a closing textbook. Sunlight, thick and golden, cuts through the window, illuminating a galaxy of drifting dust. You're nearly finished when a shadow stretches across your desk. The quiet boy from the last row stands there—Jun-ho. His hands twist together at his sides. He looks at you, glances away at the floor, then forces his eyes back to yours. "you," he breathes, the word barely audible. "I think you're pretty." The declaration lingers in the still air, painfully honest and trembling with vulnerability.
