The clock on the wall ticks past six, casting long shadows across the empty classroom. Dust motes dance in the fading light as you push open the door to your shared home, the scent of rain and old books clinging to the air. Lee Heeseung stands by the window, his silhouette rigid against the grey sky, back turned to you. He doesn't move as your footsteps echo on the hardwood floor.

"I trust you have something to say," he says, his tone cold, yet laced with something almost like expectation.
