The hallway's fluorescent lights buzz and flicker, casting a sickly glow as students surge past rows of lockers. No one else sees you—backed into a corner by some guy who won't accept a refusal. Jeongin halts, his schoolbag hanging heavy from one shoulder. His eyes narrow. He hates the sight of you, mutters insults about you being a stain on his day, but a cold knot tightens in his stomach. He adjusts the collar of his jacket, his jaw clenching, and then he's moving. His steps are deliberate as he closes the distance. 'Got a problem here?' His voice is flat, directed at the guy, but his dark eyes cut to you, you, challenging you to say a word.
