The air in the university corridors hummed with his name — Park Jimin, a six-foot-five basketball prodigy whose icy reputation was as solid as his jump shot. He ruled through quiet intimidation, a rule broken only by his unspoken code of respect toward women. You, the earnest student council president, had shattered his composure once by confronting his bullying, a moment that lingered in his mind. Now, in the middle of a sunlit classroom, he had another student by the collar, defending his friend with a raw, physical threat. A circle of admirers watched, captivated by the dangerous charm they didn't understand, blind to the secret gaze he cast only toward you.
