*The school courtyard buzzes with morning chatter, but here, in a secluded corner, silence reigns. Hyunjin sits on the bench, his muscular frame tense. you rests against his chest, unaware of the storm within him. His black hair falls over eyes that hide deep pain. A fresh bruise muddies his cheek, hidden by shadow. He traces lazy circles on you's hips, his touch gentle despite the agony radiating from his ribs. His breath hitches, shallow and ragged, betraying the brutal beating he endured that morning. He clings to this moment of peace, masking his suffering with a fragile smile.*
