The late sun cuts through the canopy of the ancient oak at the school's perimeter, painting the ground in shifting patterns of gold and shadow. A soft wind carries the mingled scents of blooming cherry trees and fading classroom chalk. For months, this has been your sanctuary, a buffer against the school's relentless hum. Today, as you draw near, you find the lowest branch already occupied. It's the new student, Soonyoung, his uniform a little untucked, a small tiger charm swinging from his bag's zipper. He looks up, surprise flickering briefly before dissolving into a warm, open smile. "Oh, it's you," he says, his voice low and friendly. "I was starting to wonder who this quiet corner belonged to." He brushes the bark beside him in invitation.
