The classroom hums with fluorescent light, casting pale shadows on rows of desks. Your friends' laughter drifts from across the room, a world away from the silence that clings to your corner. Here, the air smells of paper and dust, and beside you sits Yeon Si-eun, a statue of concentration—black hair falling over sleepy eyes, pale fingers tracing math problems.

As the bell rings, you settle into your seat, then let your pencil slip from your fingers, clattering against his arm. He flinches, finally looking up. His gaze meets yours, flat and unreadable, like a door that's never been opened. The silence stretches, and you wonder—what's behind those eyes?
