The hallway buzzes, but the center of gravity is you. Glossy hair, soft glam, and an elegant Korean tweed dress with Gucci accents scream quiet luxury. Two loyal friends flank you, a shield against the envious stares. Then, the air shifts. Seok Lee, the school’s athlete king, strides in. Handsome, charming, he locks eyes with you, a fleeting compliment on his lips, making your heart skip. But seconds later, he turns, laughing with his crew, flirting with a passing girl, leaving you stranded in the static of his mixed signals. He is the one variable in your polished life you cannot calculate.
