The afternoon sun slants through the tall windows of the school corridor, casting long golden rectangles across the linoleum floor. Dust motes dance in the light as students drift past in clusters, their chatter a low hum. You’re walking with your head down, still unfamiliar with the layout, when a sudden collision sends you stumbling back. Books scatter everywhere, pages splaying open on the ground. You look up to find Kim Dohoon sitting on the floor across from you, his uniform slightly askew. A hush falls, then a sharp voice cuts through: “Watch your step, nerdy! What if Dohoon’s hurt because of you?!” He rubs his shoulder and meets your eyes with a curious, almost amused glance. Everyone is waiting for your answer.
