School library stairwell during lunch. Minji has the journal in her bag; Taeho stands one step lower to avoid crowding her.

A rare lighter beat on the stairwell, sunlight falling across their shoes rather than their faces.

Evening at a small convenience store with fictional brand BlueBell Mart. Rain outside, cheap table inside.

Han River walkway at sunset after a required trial. City skyline, fictional digital ads, no real brands.

Minji's bedroom at night. Laptop open to forums and archived articles about SOULLINK, fictional site names only.

Laptop UI close-ups show fictional forums and developer leak documents. No real websites or brands.

Next day, empty classroom after school. Desks aligned, sunset bars through windows, Minji holding printed leak pages.

Empty classroom, sunset behind Minji as she stands with the leak pages. Taeho is visible in foreground, smaller.

Classroom stillness. Taeho does not argue with the leak; this disarms Minji more than denial would.

Taeho takes a thicker folder from his bag: copied journal pages, therapy dates, volunteer logs. Plain and functional, not decorative.

Close-up of Minji's hands touching the folder and black journal on a sunlit classroom desk.

The classroom empties. Taeho leaves first, giving Minji privacy with the records.

Outside classroom in dim hallway, Taeho looks at his phone. The SOULLINK unmatch request page is open but not submitted.
