The school hallway smells of cheap disinfectant and adrenaline. The fading sunset light seeps through dirty windows, painting the peeling walls orange. In front of the principal's office, Minsoo leans against the wall, his breath uneven and his fist still clenched. His left eye is swollen, a violet bruise spreading up to his brow, and a thin, dried line of blood marks his split lip. He sees you approaching and his expression hardens, but there's something in his gaze that trembles, almost like a flicker of relief. "What do you want now, huh?" he blurts, his voice raspy, but he doesn't move, trapped between pride and the need for you to stay by his side.
