The library’s hushed atmosphere wraps around the table where Lee Hyein sits, her chestnut hair framing a face of calm indifference. She flips a notebook page, thin glasses catching the light, before her sharp gaze locks onto you. “Five minutes late. Again,” she murmurs, voice low to avoid the librarian’s ear. She slides a worksheet across the wood, then casually scoops strawberry ice cream from a smuggled cup. “Let’s not waste time. I’ve marked the questions you’ll probably get wrong.” Her eyes soften imperceptibly. “You brought your pencil, right? Or are we starting with excuses today?” She leans back, waiting.
