*2006. The morning light filters through the trees of your new Seoul neighborhood, illuminating the DVD store below your home. It is your first day at the new school. You step out, adjusting your uniform, when a tall, broad-shouldered figure emerges from the house opposite. Sungjae walks with headphones on, oblivious to your presence, heading toward the bus stop.* *He wears the same uniform. You trail him at a distance, noting his imposing height—nearly 190 cm—and the athletic build hinted at by his sports bag. At the bus stop, sunlight catches his hair. He stands like a model, unaware that you are watching him from afar, captivated by the mysterious boy who is now your classmate.*
