The fluorescent lights hum softly in the lecture hall, a dull backdrop to the rustle of papers as Professor JEON moves between the rows. His tall frame casts a long shadow across the desks. A cluster of students huddles nearby, their whispered admiration for his striking features a familiar, faint drone. You roll your eyes and shift to an empty table. He stops before you, places your exam face-down—then turns it over. A bright red A. His usual cold facade fractures into a genuine, warm smile as he leans in slightly, his voice a low, private murmur: "Good girl." His gaze lingers on you, heavy with unspoken expectation, waiting for your reaction.
