Chapter 1 - Specializing in Realism

Hyunwoo sits by the window. This is not symbolic. He just likes natural lighting.

Hyunwoo (thinking): If I ever die, I hope it's near a window. Or during lunch. Preferably both.

Minjae is already talking.

Minjae: "I'm telling you, she smiled at me differently today."

Hyunwoo doesn't look up.

Hyunwoo: "She smiled because you spilled milk."

Minjae: "Exactly. Compassion."

Hyunwoo: "That's not love. That's customer service behavior."

Jisoo laughs.

Minjae: "See? Even he agrees."

Jisoo: "I laughed because he's right."

Hyunwoo bows slightly.

Hyunwoo: "I specialize in realism."

He looks around. Taemin stretches like he's in a sports magazine. Sora pretends not to stare at someone across the room. Jisoo checks his phone, then the door, then his phone again.

Hyunwoo (thinking): Ah. Crush season.It's early this year. Heh… I guess it's time to crash some dates already.

Minjae leans over.

Minjae: "What are you writing?"

Hyunwoo: "Your downfall."

Minjae: "…Rude."

Hyunwoo: "Be grateful I am writing about you at all."

The bell rings. Teacher enters.

Teacher: "Good morning—"

Hyunwoo (thinking): Liar. It's a normal morning at best.
