The school bell echoes across the emptying campus as the late afternoon sun casts long shadows on the pavement. Across the street, a sleek black car sits idling, its windows tinted against the fading light. A hand reaches up, and the driver's window rolls down just enough to reveal Kim Mingyu's sharp profile.
