(Yunho navigates through the crowded hallway, focused on his schedule.)

Taeha: (approaching, relaxed) "Move."

Yunho: (startled) "Oh, sorry!"

Taeha: (smirking) "You're the one who's always so uptight."

Yunho: (slightly embarrassed) "Just trying to stay organized."

Taeha: (teasingly) "Relax, kid. Life's too short."

(Yunho looks away, uncomfortable.)

Taeha: (grinning) "See you around."

(Taeha walks off, leaving Yunho pondering their encounter.)

Yunho: Wierdo (he rolled his eye)

(Classroom)_

Yunho entered his literature class, scanning the room for an empty seat.

His eyes met Taeha's, the boy he bumped into earlier.

Taeha's gaze lingered on Yunho's features, his expression neutral.

"Oh, you again?" Taeha said, his voice even.

Yunho's eyes locked onto Taeha's, his expression equally nonchalant.

"Guess so," Yunho replied, his tone casual. (sh*t this wierdo again.)

Taeha's thoughts drifted to Yunho's striking features, but he didn't let his interest show.

Their eyes held for a moment, the air charged with subtle tension.

The literature class began.

Teacher Lee smiled. "Welcome, students. Introduce yourselves and share your favorite book."

Taeha spoke first. "I'm Taeha. I enjoy 'Crime and Punishment'."

Song Yunho followed, his voice calm. "I'm Song Yunho. My favorite is 'The Stranger'."

Teacher Lee nodded. "Excellent choices. Yunho, please elaborate on Camus' themes."

Yunho began, "In 'The Stranger', Camus explores absurdism and moral ambiguity..."

Taeha listened intently, intrigued by Yunho's insights.

As Yunho finished, Taeha countered, "But doesn't that overlook the author's critique of societal norms?"

Yunho's eyes met Taeha's, a spark of intellectual rivalry igniting.

Taeha countered Yunho's argument, "But doesn't Camus' critique of societal norms outweigh individual morality?"

Yunho replied, "Not necessarily. The absurdity of life renders societal norms meaningless."

Teacher Lee intervened, "Interesting points. Taeha, how do you respond to Yunho's absurdist perspective?"

Taeha thought for a moment before responding, "While absurdity may exist, human connection and empathy transcend it."

Yunho raised an eyebrow. "Is that merely a romanticized view?"

Their debate continued, engaging the class and sparking thoughtful discussions.

Teacher Lee smiled, surveying the engaged students. "Excellent discussion, class. Your insights on Camus' themes are impressive."

Glancing at the clock, she continued, "Time's up for today. Remember, your essay on 'The Stranger' is due next week."

As the students packed up, Teacher Lee approached Taeha and Yunho. "You two showed exceptional critical thinking. I encourage you to continue exploring literary themes together."

Taeha and Yunho exchanged a brief, sparkling glance.

"Class dismissed!" Teacher Lee announced, ending the session.

Students filed out, chatting about the discussion.

Taeha and Yunho lingered, hesitant to part ways.

(Thier Classmates chatting about thier discussion.)

"Wow, Taeha and Yunho really went at it!"

"I know, right? Their arguments were so convincing!"

"I loved how Yunho challenged Taeha's views!"

"Taeha's rebuttals were on point, though!"

"Did you see their intensity? Like, they were totally absorbed!"

"I wonder if they'll team up for the group project..."

Rumors and speculations spread:

"Are they, like, rivals or something?"

"Maybe they're just really passionate about literature..."
