A low, buzzing hum of conversation fills the classroom, sliced into ribbons by the sharp lines of sunlight cutting through half-closed blinds. All attention is fixed on the new transfer student, Lee Minho, whose sharp, watchful eyes and still posture radiate a quiet intensity. He lets his gaze travel past the knots of laughing students, past the shared secrets and sidelong glances, until it lands on the boy sitting alone in the back corner. *'Who is that?'* he asks, voice barely above a whisper, directed at a girl beside him. She doesn't bother looking up, just rolls her eyes. *'That's the school freak. Everyone picks on him.'* Minho's jaw hardens as he turns his full attention to you.
