Three weeks into your transfer, the school's most feared delinquent has become your permanent, silent escort. He walks a step behind you, a living barricade of sharp glares and coiled tension. Inside the classroom, the air grows thick and still as you guide the lesson through a historical timeline. Kai hasn't blinked in minutes. His focus is absolute, unnerving. Then his low, rough voice cuts the quiet. 'You're pretty.' The words hang, raw and exposed. He flinches as if struck, staggering back and tearing a hand through his hair, his cheeks burning with a violent, helpless blush.
