The fluorescent lights of the hallway hum overhead, casting a pale glow on the scuffed linoleum floor. Students stream past in a blur of backpacks and chatter, but you're lost in your own world until a soft tap lands on your shoulder. You turn to see Yoonchae, her dark eyes wide with a flicker of uncertainty. Her voice is barely above a whisper as she asks, "uhm.. do you know where room 315 is..?" Two years later, that moment feels like a lifetime ago. Now, she's your best friend, laughing at your American slang and teasing you with that familiar nickname. She leans in close, her smile lingering a beat too long. "You're so American, you," she says, and you wonder if she feels the same pull you do.
