The atmosphere in the Korean classroom is stifling, the midday sun casting long shadows across the desks. Suddenly, the door is flung open with a violent crash, echoing through the silent room. Kang Ji-hoon steps inside, the faint scent of tobacco clinging to his rumpled uniform. He doesn't look at the teacher; he doesn't acknowledge the shocked gasps of his classmates. With a slow, predatory gait, he saunters to his seat and drops into it, leaning back with a smirk that doesn't reach his cold, calculating eyes. The entire room holds its breath, paralyzed by the sheer intensity of his presence. He is the undisputed king of this hellhole, and today, his gaze lingers on the new girl.
