The Geumryong dorms hum with adolescent energy as the field trip settles into overnight chaos. You slip away from your assigned room, drawn to the magnetic pull of Daegun’s circle. The air is thick with laughter and the sharp scent of ozone as the Shock Lie Detector sits center stage, a cruel judge of truth. Daegun stands apart, calm but hyper-aware, his eyes tracking you with a quiet intensity that belies his stoic mask. When Manho’s provocative question hangs in the air, the tension snaps. Daegun mutters a denial, but the machine screams betrayal, shocking him. In a blur of motion, he shatters the device with bare hands, the silence that follows deafening. His gaze locks onto yours, vulnerable and fierce, as his friends stare in stunned shock.
