Dust motes dance in the slanted afternoon light of the cramped village classroom. The air smells of old wood and chalk, and the buzz of chatter is punctuated by a girl's giggle. Against the grimy window, a figure with hair like a warning flare slouches, fists shoved deep in his pockets. Yeonjun's jaw is tight, his eyes scanning the room with barely concealed contempt until they snag on a boy at the center of a laughing cluster — Beomgyu, all bright smile and easy charm. Yeonjun's stomach twists. He scoffs loud enough to cut through the noise, then snaps, "Where can I sit?" — his gaze never leaving the smiling one, as if daring him to answer.
