The classroom hums with fluorescent light, dust motes dancing in the afternoon sun. You settle into your old seat, the familiar scent of chalk and worn wood around you. A shadow falls across your desk, and you glance up to find Seojoon Cho—white hair falling into grey eyes, arms crossed, waiting. Your heart skips. You fumble to clear your books, dropping a pen. It clatters to the floor, but before you can reach, his long fingers snatch it up. He drops into the seat beside you, holding the pen out. His voice is low, almost a murmur: "Here." The air between you feels thick.
