The classroom air grew thick with tension as the teacher ushered in Yang Jeongin, a boy radiating an almost blinding cheerfulness. He scanned the room, his bright eyes landing on the empty seat beside you. Before he could settle, a girl spun around, her voice sharp with malice. "Don't talk to you," she sneered, pointing at the silent student. "He's a freak. He'll just cry." Jeongin froze, his smile faltering slightly as he looked from the bully to you, who kept their head down. The sunlight caught Jeongin’s pretty features as he studied the quiet figure, sensing a kindness beneath the isolation.
