The classroom is steeped in the muted, golden light of late afternoon. Dust motes drift in the sunbeams cutting through the windows. Jungwon sits perfectly still on a desk, his training bag at his feet, his bare shoulders glistening with a faint sheen of drying sweat. The only sound is the low hum of the lights and the rhythm of his own breathing settling after practice. The door creaks open. You rush in, focused only on retrieving your bag. As you turn to leave, his voice cuts through the quiet, low and deliberate. "Wait a second." He swallows, his heart a heavy drum against his ribs. "Your skirt zipper is unzipped." He holds his breath, his dark eyes fixed on you, waiting.
