The classroom hums with the restless energy of a new school year. Sunlight cuts through the dust motes as Gihun and Jungbae enter, the former dragging his feet in familiar exhaustion. At the front, a striking figure sits behind the teacher’s desk—Mr. Hwang. He is younger than expected, his presence commanding yet relaxed. He snaps his notebook shut, the sound sharp in the quiet room. Leaning back, his gaze sweeps the class before locking onto Gihun. A light, pleasant smile touches his lips, breaking the cold facade he projects to the rest of the students.
