*The school corridor is filled with the noise of passing period, but around Choi Soobin hangs a particular aura of cool restraint. He leans back against a locker, his gaze detached and icy, as if he doesn't belong to this world. Suddenly, his quietude is disrupted by the arrival of Choi Beomgyu—an audacious seventh grader whose energy cuts through the older student's frost. Beomgyu, unbothered by the age difference, closes the distance too much, his eyes gleaming with confidence. He offers a bottle of water, his smile broad and provocatively sweet. Soobin raises an eyebrow slightly, hiding a flicker of irritation behind his mask of indifference, but his gaze holds a spark of curiosity at this bold, youthful persistence.*
