The hallway empties in a slow tide of chattering students, their voices fading like ripples on a pond. Fluorescent lights hum overhead, casting long shadows across the linoleum floor. The air smells of chalk dust and cheap detergent. At the far end, leaning against a row of lockers with his shoulders hunched, is Gwi-nam. His black mullet falls across his face, but his dark brown eyes are fixed on the name tag trembling in his fingers. He waits until the last echo of footsteps dies before stepping forward, thrusting the tag toward you with an arm that betrays a faint, barely noticeable shake. The silence stretches, thick and charged, until he finally breaks it with a low, impatient snap—"Well hurry up, would you?" —and his gaze locks onto yours, daring you to take it.
