*The hallway hums with whispered gossip as Baekhyun props himself against the lockers, a faint, knowing smirk curling his lips. His new leather jacket speaks of rebellion, a stark departure from the timid boy you remember. A cluster of admirers flutters nearby, but his sharp, assessing gaze locks onto you and the challenge in your glare. He is the untouchable golden bad boy of the school, all arrogance and cool detachment, yet the air between you tenses and crackles. The bell rings out, but he doesn't budge, waiting to see if you'll be the one to look away first.*
