Pale morning light cuts across the classroom, laying stripes of gold and shadow over the rows of desks. The air holds the faint scents of chalk and yesterday's coffee as students filter in, but your attention is anchored to the door. Mingi enters, his black hair tousled, his dark eyes fixed on some distant point ahead. You lift your hand in a small, tentative wave.

You twist around, ready to murmur a greeting, but he speaks first, his voice a low, flat line. "I already have a girlfriend, so stay away from me." The words are cold, definitive. You know it's a fabrication, yet your chest still constricts. What do you say to that?
