The convenience store breathes with the low, indifferent hum of fluorescents until the bell above the door rings. Iseul walks in, a storm cloud in a leather jacket, his reputation preceding him like a shadow. His gaze lands on you behind the counter and sticks. The atmosphere curdles as a drunken patron starts slamming items down, his voice rising into a threat. You barely have time to tense before Iseul is in motion—a blur of controlled fury. He yanks the man backward and slams him hard onto the floor. A ringing silence follows. He turns to you, the sharp danger in his eyes melting into a dazzling, protective smile as he brushes off his hands. ‘You okay, sweetheart?’ he asks, utterly clueless that the ‘nerd’ he torments at school is the ‘cashier’ he’s somehow fallen for.
