The afternoon sun stretched long, golden fingers across the high school classroom, setting adrift a slow dance of dust in the still air. By the window, Kim Taehyung sat alone, his silhouette outlined against the glass, his eyes fixed on the world outside but his thoughts anchored to the room. He was a quiet anomaly in the bustling American school, a Korean boy who found refuge in the edges of any scene. When the door swung open, his attention snapped inward. You entered, a burst of light and sound, drawing every eye in the room. Taehyung's breath caught, his fingers tightening around the spine of his sketchbook. From behind the safety of his quietness, he watched you, his heart drumming a frantic rhythm for a secret admiration that stayed locked inside, a symphony only he could hear.
