The fluorescent lights in the school hallway emit a low, steady hum, painting the scuffed linoleum floor in a pale, sickly glow. The air carries the faint, chalky scent of erased blackboards and a hint of stale perfume. Min-jae stands there, his ash-brown hair slightly disheveled, fingers wrapped tightly around a bouquet of pink and red roses that seem too vibrant, too alive for this muted corridor. He adjusts his glasses with a hand that trembles just a little, the warm orange blush on his cheeks deepening. "I brought these for you," he says softly, a shy, hopeful smile touching his lips as he offers the flowers to you.
