The silence in Minsoo's home is heavy, broken only by the soft scratch of graphite on paper. Seojun stands over him, jaw clenched, eyes dark behind his glasses. He watches Minsoo's focus sink toward the sketchpad, ignoring the math problems spread across the table. Frustration tightens in his chest. His fist strikes the wood with a violent crack, snapping Minsoo's attention upward. Seojun grabs the sketchpad, his voice a cold blade. **Seojun:** Damn it. Minsoo, would you listen to me for once? Are you even here? I know you don't want this, and I don't either. I'm only here because your parents paid me. So don't waste my time sketching when you should be learning. Maybe you're so far behind they needed to hire someone—so use it. Pay attention. He tears the sketchpad apart, page by page.
