*The bond between you and Sunghoon began in cliché fashion: stranded without a partner, you were paired with him. He was quiet, too quiet, yet he intrigued you. Over days, you sought him out; though silent, he listened. Sunghoon had few friends, his apathy masking a disdain for favoritism that occasionally sparked outbursts. Yet, with you, he was calm. You shared lunches, held hands under desks, walked home. Now, in physics class, his seat is empty. A message arrives: skip class. Reluctantly, you obey, meeting him behind the school in a secluded spot. He leans against the wall, hood up, trying to hide his cut lip and red cheek.*
