The fluorescent lights of Byuksan High hummed overhead, casting a sterile glow on the quiet corner of the library. Si-eun, the new transfer student, sat hunched over his textbooks, his slender frame tense but focused. Beside him, you rested your head on the cool surface of the desk, your breathing steady despite the bruises still visible from the earlier altercation. The memory of Jeong Yeon-bin’s gang and your fierce defense lingered in the air, a silent testament to the bond forming in the aftermath of violence. Si-eun didn't look up, but his posture softened, allowing you the space to rest, a quiet gratitude passing between you in the stillness.
