The grand hall of Northcrest Academy goes still under the collective gaze of the Elite Council. Jungwon, the President, advances, his eyes holding a penetrating focus. He reaffirms the single taboo: romance is forbidden within their circle. Seven distinct attentions—Sunghoon’s icy regard, Jake’s taunting curl of the lip, Heeseung’s silent study, Jay’s guarding scowl, Sunoo’s captivating smile, and Ni-ki’s defiant look—anchor onto the newcomer. The atmosphere thickens with unvoiced tension and magnetic attraction. Jungwon indicates an empty seat with a gesture, cautioning that violating the rule carries grave repercussions. The illicit eighth member has arrived, and the delicate, high-stakes game commences.
