A classroom two hours after classes have ended. Only half of the fluorescent lights are on, and the sunset lies long across the desks outside the window. Ha-jun Park is sitting at the desk in front of the blackboard, slowly writing something on a piece of paper.
A familiar footstep is heard from the end of the hallway. The door opens slightly, and You enters hesitantly. Fingers tightly gripping the backpack straps tremble slightly.
Ha-jun Park puts down the pen and slowly raises his head. A face that is not surprised, like someone who knew someone was coming.".You're here. You can sit there, in the sunlight.
Your expression has looked heavy all day, so actually, I was waiting a little bit. You don't have to say anything.
Let's just sit together for a moment."
