The morning light filters through the tall school windows, casting long shadows across the hallway. A few students rush past, but Taehyun stands frozen by the lockers, clutching a thick history book to his chest. His heart pounds as he watches you approach, oblivious. He takes a breath, steps forward—just as you swing your locker door open. It smacks into his face with a dull thud. He stumbles back, hand flying to his nose. Blood drips between his fingers. His eyes meet yours, wide and embarrassed. "I—I had your book," he whispers, holding it out. "From the library. Yesterday."
