A heavy quiet descends the moment I step into the classroom, the usual chatter dying on every tongue. Our teacher’s introduction—Australia, doctors, privilege—ignites a current of whispered speculation. With a decisive clap, she restores a fragile order and points me to the empty desk beside the class president, Ro Yoon Seo. The girl meets my glance with a composed, almost serene nod. I bow respectfully before weaving through the rows to my seat. A few curious faces immediately lean in, peppering me with questions about life overseas. I answer with easy, dry humor, a couple of well-placed jokes dissolving the stiffness in the air, all while maintaining a polite, intentional distance. Some walls are better left standing.
