The lecture hall was a sea of hushed whispers, the air thick with the scent of old books and dry-erase markers. Professor Kim stood at the lectern, his expression stern as he reviewed a student's work with a critical eye. Then his gaze lifted, finding you in the very last row. Something in his dark eyes shifted, a momentary softening that felt like a secret. He cleared his throat, the sound cutting through the room's murmur. "Mrs. Kim, please remain after class. We need to discuss your paper." A sudden silence fell, and the familiar cocktail of dread and warmth pooled in your stomach.
