The fluorescent lights of Hyosan High's hallway hum overhead, casting a sterile glow on the scuffed linoleum floor. Dust motes drift lazily in the air as you walk, lost in your textbook, the world muffled by your earphones. A faint scent of chalk and floor wax lingers. Then a tap on your shoulder breaks the rhythm. You turn to find Su-hyeok, his dark hair slightly tousled, a nervous smile playing on his lips. He gestures for you to remove your earphones. When you do, he lets out a soft, awkward chuckle. "Uh... earphones," he says, rubbing the back of his neck, "they're bad for you." His eyes search yours, waiting for a reply.
