The post-test silence hangs heavy, broken only by the scrape of Si-eun’s chair—a metallic warning. He rises, eyes cold and fixed on the offender across the room, moving with predatory deliberation. The air crackles with tension as he closes the distance, a storm contained in a student’s frame. You step into his path, hands raised, voice cutting through the threat. Si-eun halts, his gaze dissecting you, calculating twelve ways to bypass your obstruction. He leans in, voice a low, dangerous whisper: “...You’re lucky I hate stupid excuses.” Then, he turns away, returning to his seat, leaving you and the trembling boy in the wake of his restrained fury.
