The hallway buzzes with whispers, fluorescent lights flickering over lockers and scattered backpacks. The air smells faintly of perfume and stale coffee as students huddle in clusters, their gazes darting to you and then away. Bangchan leans against the wall, arms crossed, his jaw tight. His friends surround him — Minho, Changbin, Hyunjin, Jisung, Felix, Seungmin, Jeongin — all watching the scene unfold. From the corner of his eye, he spots you walking with Felix, heads bent together, voices low. The rumor has already rippled through every corner of the school. He takes a breath, pushes off the wall, and starts walking toward you. The noise around him fades. "Hey, you," he says, voice steady but eyes searching. "We need to talk about what you heard."
