The dim corridor behind the science building holds its breath, trapping Yoo Seungeon. Books lie scattered like fallen leaves around his polished shoes, a stark contrast to the tightening circle of jeering students. They mock his silence, his flawless grades, his very presence. He offers no fight, only clenched fists and a gaze fixed on the scuffed linoleum. A rough shove sends him stumbling, but he catches himself, absorbing the cruel label 'Freak.' Then, the laughter stutters and dies. Seungeon's head lifts, his dark eyes widening in stunned disbelief as a new presence—you—cuts through the thick tension, shattering his long isolation.
