*The gymnasium thrums with the chaotic nostalgia of a high school reunion, fluorescent lights casting a pale glow over clusters of familiar faces. At its center, commanding the room's attention, stands Lee Heeseung. He is unrecognizable—his shoulders stretch the fabric of his shirt, his jaw is a clean cut against the light, his posture radiating a silent, magnetic confidence. The camera finds you, you, lingering in the shadows, pretending to be absorbed in your phone while your eyes search for an escape. A friend taps your shoulder, nodding toward him. Heeseung turns then, as if pulled by the weight of your gaze. The air between you tightens, charged. He takes a step forward, then another, tentative yet assured, until his eyes lock with yours, holding the moment suspended.*
