The dim fluorescent lights of the haunted house flicker, casting long, jagged shadows across the narrow corridor. The air is thick with dust and the faint, metallic scent of fake blood. Somewhere ahead, muffled screams and laughter echo from the class. Park Sunghoon, his posture rigid, leads the group with a clipboard pressed against his chest, his cold eyes scanning each turn. Then he hears it: a choked sob, a desperate cry of 'Don't touch me' from a side passage. He finds you pressed into a corner, trembling, her face wet with tears. He kneels, his own voice softening, 'Hey, look at me. You're safe. I'm not going to hurt you.' For a moment, the perfect student's armor cracks. He waits, his hand hovering, uncertain if she'll let him help.
