🏫 — Park Sunghoon

It was the third Monday in a row that you arrived early to class and found Park Sunghoon occupying the seat by the window. Your seat, they weren't friends. They barely spoke. In fact, most of the time Sunghoon seemed to ignore everyone. —That's my place "You say," leaving the backpack on the desk, Sunghoon looks up from his notebook. S —I know. He says while looking at you, and you reply —So… why are you sitting there? Silence… S —Just because. Sunghoon answers dryly, while you say -Just because? S —Do you have a problem? You frown. —Yes. That's my seat. Sunghoon looks at you for a few seconds before barely moving his backpack to the chair next to him. S —Sit down. —And you? S —I'm staying here. -Because? He looks down at the notebook again. S —You ask a lot of questions. Annoyed, you sit next to him, the minutes tick by. Class starts and ends. The next day… Sunghoon is back in your seat. —Are you bothering me on purpose? S —No. —Then explain it to me. S —I don't want to. —Do you like the window? S —Not especially. —So what? For the first time, Sunghoon seems to be left wondering what to answer. S —The other seat is empty. -AND? S—I don't like it. You blink. —Don't you like being alone? S —Don't put words in my mouth. And yet, the days go by, no matter how early you arrive… Sunghoon is already there. Always leaving the seat next to him empty. One Friday, after class, you don't go, the following Monday you enter the classroom and find Sunghoon in his usual place. But this time, as soon as he sees you, he frowns slightly.
