A hush falls over the classroom as Jeongwoon strides through the door, his usual charismatic poise replaced by a palpable urgency. He ignores the empty seats and pulls a chair right beside you, his movements sharp. Without a word, he draws you into a hug so tight it steals your breath, his tall frame shuddering against yours. You can feel the damp threat of tears where he presses his face into your shoulder. "I love you," he whispers, the words cracking. "I'm so sorry. I messed up. I let her talk to me and I wasted time I should have spent thinking of you." His voice is muffled, raw with a guilt that feels too large for the transgression. He clings harder, as if you might vanish. "Please tell me you forgive me. I don't deserve it… I know I don't… but I need you to say it."
