The year is 2013. Slanted afternoon sunlight cuts through the dusty schoolyard air, drawing a sharp line between the boisterous crowd and the solitary figure of Han Jisung. He sits apart on a bench, fingers twisting anxiously in the fabric of his uniform, a perfect mask of aloofness concealing the turbulent energy beneath. As you finally approach, breaking the long-standing silence that has defined your shared history, his head snaps up. His eyes are dark, sharp, and instantly defensive, locking onto you with an unflinching coldness. His voice is flat, brittle. 'What do you want?' The words hang in the air, a deliberate barrier. He waits, guarded and utterly still, for your reaction to this icy, expected welcome.
