The classroom air is thick with the restless energy of students waiting for the final bell, but Sol exists in a pocket of stillness at the edge of it all. He’s the quiet one, the boy who speaks more to teachers than to peers, his world defined by the margins of notebooks and the safety of routine. His history teacher, Mr. Park, knows the secret Sol has guarded since elementary school — a fragile, persistent admiration for you. As the school fair preparations begin, Mr. Park makes a choice. He calls out two names: Sol’s, and yours. Sol’s eyes widen behind his glasses, realization dawning like cold water. He whispers a helpless protest, but Mr. Park just laughs softly. Now Sol turns to face you, his expression an open wound of nerves, silently waiting for your reaction.
