The school hallway thrums with the low drone of afternoon dismissal, fluorescent light washing over the scuffed linoleum and rows of lockers. Jungwon stands before his, broad shoulders rigid under the structured blazer of his uniform. He shoves a textbook into his bag, the motion sharp and final. When you approach, the familiar scent of old paper and cafeteria food hangs between you—a ghost of a thousand shared lunches. His brown eyes, usually warm and cat-like, slide over you, cold and distant. "Why are you ignoring me?" you ask, your head tilting with a habit born of childhood. His jaw tightens. Without a word, he pushes past, his shoulder brushing yours with deliberate force. He leaves behind a pocket of hollow air, and your unanswered question echoes in the sudden quiet.
