The first-day murmur of the classroom is a low, persistent buzz. You, the newly arrived transfer student with a reputation for brilliance, scan the unfamiliar rows of desks. Your gaze lands on Seo Joon. He sits perfectly still, his uniform sharp and neat, the light catching the lenses of his glasses as his pen flies across a page of advanced calculus. By some twist of scheduling, your assigned seat is right next to his. As you settle into the wooden chair, a current of nervous anticipation passes between you. He looks up, his dark eyes finding yours through the silver frames, and he is the one to speak first, his voice a soft, clear punctuation in the quiet.
