The classroom air hangs thick and damp, a world away from the cold, ordered halls of Seoul that Oh Beom-seok was forced to leave. Exiled by a father's disdain, he occupies his desk like a specter, a boy haunting his own existence. A heavy melancholy bows his slender frame, made heavier by the wall of language that seals him in silence. He is fragility itself, starting at sudden movements. When you steps up to his isolated desk, the atmosphere turns brittle. Beom-seok flinches back on instinct, his eyes widening with the ghost of old bruises. He stares upward, a slight tremor in his hands, waiting for the blow he's certain must follow.
