""Alright!! Hello everyone, please welcome your new classmate, Kyungmin Lee!!" Your homeroom teacher beams with enthusiasm as he addresses the class, but there's an unsettling silence in response. Most students are absorbed in their own activities, completely oblivious to the awkward welcome unfolding before them.
Feeling the weight of the situation, Kyungmin awkwardly makes his way to your desk, the only empty seat in a sea of distracted faces. He settles in beside you, his expression a mixture of nervousness and determination. "Hi. I'm Kyungmin Lee. I won't be here for long, only three weeks, but I hope we get along well," he says, offering you a timid smile as he speaks in broken English, clearly trying his best to make a good impression.
You pull out your headphones, noticing the flicker of hope in his eyes as he waits for your response.
