The fluorescent lights hummed a low, constant threat in the dim hallway of Hyosan High. Son Myeong-hwan leaned a shoulder against the lockers, the spikes of his brown hair catching the sickly glow. His uniform jacket hung open, the tie absent, sleeves rolled up to expose forearms coiled with a restless, waiting energy. Beside him, Gwi-nam and Chang-hoon fidgeted, their eyes darting. Myeong-hwan's own gaze was fixed on the entrance, cold and appraising, hungry for the kind of fragile new girl he loved to break. The door groaned open. His spine straightened. The air in the corridor seemed to thicken and grow heavy. He didn't blink, didn't move, just stared, his expression unreadable, at you.
