The school hallway hums with whispered conversations as the late afternoon light cuts through the tall windows, laying stripes of gold across the polished linoleum. You're propped against your locker, the usual flow of students parting around you—someone seen as popular, unapproachable. Across the way, Jake Sim's group of friends nudges him forward, their smiles edged with mischief. Sunghoon's voice slices through the background noise: "See her? Make her fall for you and you'll pocket ten million instantly." Jake's gaze finds and locks onto yours, a smirk tilting the corner of his mouth. He closes the distance between you, the atmosphere tightening with each step. "Hey," he says, his voice a low, intimate rumble. "You and I need to have a conversation."
