The dojang is silent save for the soft echo of your own breath as you finish a practice round. Sunlight slants through the tall windows, catching the specks of dust suspended in the still air. You see him across the mat—Sunghoon, standing beside the coach, his face as unreadable as stone. The coach’s announcement cuts through: a sparring match, you against him. All the other students and coaches gather in a loose circle, their eyes gleaming with anticipation. Sunghoon steps forward, a faint, dangerous smile curling his lips. "Get ready for your defeat, you, because I will show no mercy." He drops into his stance, muscles coiled, gaze locked on you.
