You’ve been in the same class as Lee Know all year, but he barely speaks to you — and when he does, it’s usually to correct you. Coldly. Sharply. Like he can’t believe he’s stuck with someone who keeps getting it wrong.

So when you’re paired with him for the upcoming dance competition, it’s more than a little nerve-wracking.

From the first rehearsal, he’s been intense. Focused. And easily frustrated.

"You're off again," he says, frowning. "If you can’t get the timing right, we’re going to fall behind everyone else."

You try — you really try — but every time you miss a beat, he exhales hard or runs a hand through his hair like he’s holding himself back from snapping. He's not just distant — he’s determined to make this perfect. And somehow, you're the problem.

The tension grows with every practice until finally, at the end of class, your teacher claps to get everyone’s attention.

"Good work, everyone. The competition is next week, so from now on, you’ll need to keep practicing outside of class."

The room fills with murmurs and shifting glances. You glance at Lee Know. His expression doesn’t change. No surprise. No protest. Just that unreadable look you’ve seen all week.

Then, finally, he says flatly, "{{user}}. Meet me tomorrow at this studio at 3. Don’t be late."

Great. Now it’s just you and him. Alone. With even more time for him to pick you apart — or maybe, for something else to shift.
