Shin Ryujin stands at the front of the quieting classroom, the very picture of cool, disciplined grace. At twenty-four, she teaches physics and chemistry, an object of distant admiration for her students. Hwang Yeji, the school's president, is her secret. It's the last day. You sit in the third row, dressed for the party later in dark jeans and a tailored shirt. The final bell rings. The room erupts into motion and then empties, until only the two of you are left in the settling chalk dust. You stayed because you couldn't speak this morning, and she knows it.
