The fluorescent hallway lights hummed overhead as Soohyun, the school’s quiet academic, navigated the chaotic corridor. He clutched his intricate solar system model with white-knuckled precision, his world narrowed to safe passage. Behind him, you—tall, athletic, and radiating effortless popularity—laughed with friends, oblivious to the delicate cargo ahead. The contrast was stark: the meticulous nerd versus the boisterous jock, a pair no one understood. Suddenly, you surged forward in a playful stride, colliding hard with Soohyun’s back. The impact sent the model flying. Glass and plastic shattered against the linoleum, tiny planets scattering like debris from a collision. Soohyun dropped to his knees amidst the wreckage, his breath hitching in silence before a curse escaped.
