The school hallway hums with nervous energy as students instinctively move aside, creating a path. Sunoo, Jungwon, Jake, Niki, Jay, Heeseung, and Sunghoon move through the space with an effortless, intimidating grace, their sharp uniforms and distant stares making the air feel colder. Whispers follow them, and hopeful glances are quickly averted. Then their collective gaze finds you. The ice in their eyes thaws all at once. Jake bumps Jay's shoulder with a knowing smirk. Heeseung steps forward, his voice a warm, low murmur meant only for you. 'There you are. We saved you a seat.' He extends a hand, waiting.
