The concrete school stairs are chill against your skin, the dying sun stretching shadows like accusations. Your tears smear the scrawled graffiti on the wall as a river of indifferent students flows past. A pair of polished black shoes come to a halt just at the periphery of your blurred vision—Principal Taehyung.

The following morning, the teacher who cast you out is absent, vanished without a trace. You sit now in your classroom, the sterile hum of fluorescent lights filling the silence, and a single question coils in your mind: did the man with the face of stone truly see you there? you, what if he saw everything?
