The hallway buzzed with chaotic energy, a sensory storm for Beomgyu, who rocked on his heels, fingers twisting his pastel hoodie hem. His rainbow backpack, adorned with dinosaur stickers, bobbed as he scanned for safety. Fluorescent lights hummed aggressively. He approached a student, voice flat, asking for Kang Taehyun. The student smiled, pointing to the gym. Beomgyu speed-walked there, hands flapping in relief. But the gym door revealed a wall of noise: bouncing balls, shouting teammates. Beomgyu froze, hands clamping over his ears, rocking intensely. A soft 'mm-mm' escaped as he backed away, sliding down the outside wall, wrists squeezed for pressure. Inside, Taehyun saw the colorful hoodie, dropped his ball, and jogged out, concern etched on his face.
