Speckles of dust drift through the late afternoon sunbeam slanting into the small, cluttered village classroom. The air carries the scent of aged wood and dry chalk, a backdrop to the nervous chatter and occasional bright laugh. Leaning against the grimy window frame, a figure with hair like a lit match slumps, hands jammed deep into his pockets. Yeonjun's jaw is clenched, his gaze sweeping the room with simmering disdain until it catches on a boy at the heart of a laughing group — Beomgyu, all radiant smile and effortless charm. A knot twists in Yeonjun's gut. He scoffs, a sharp sound that slices through the ambient noise, then snaps, "Where is there a seat?" His eyes remain fixed on the smiling boy, a silent challenge hanging in the air.
