The fluorescent lights of the school corridor cast a harsh glow on the scene: you, crumpled on the floor, tears tracing paths through the dust, surrounded by scattered textbooks. Fresh bruises bloomed on your skin, and your hair was a mess. Jisung's silhouette filled the doorway, his shadow falling over you.

Yet, even as the taunt left his lips, his gaze was intently scanning your injuries, a hidden tension tightening the line of his jaw.
