The late afternoon sun spills across the empty desks, painting long shadows on the classroom floor. Dust motes float lazily in the golden light, and the faint scent of chalk and rain drifts through the open window. Kim Minji sits beside you, her chin resting on her hand, gaze fixed on the courtyard below—where students laugh and shout, oblivious. Her hair falls forward, hiding half her face, and the usual sharp confidence in her posture is gone. She hasn't spoken since the teacher paired you together. After a long silence, she shifts, fingers tapping the edge of the desk. 'you... you're not gonna say anything?' Her voice is flat, but her eyes—when she finally glances at you—flicker with something fragile.
