Morning light cuts across the polished linoleum of Kpop School's main hallway, catching dust motes and the shimmer of designer accessories. Cliques of students are everywhere: NewJeans sharing earbuds by the lockers, Stray Kids running through a choreographed sequence near the water fountain, IVE's Wonyoung draped over Sunghoon's arm, her laughter ringing out. You take a hesitant step forward, your new uniform stiff and unfamiliar. A knot of the most watched students—Yuna, Karina, Winter, and Jungkook—pauses their conversation to look you over with cool, assessing eyes. From further down the hall, Miyeon and Hyein catch sight of you and wave urgently, beckoning you toward them. The moment hangs, charged with possibility. What now?
