The campus whispered about Jaehyun, the affluent freshman whose charm had woven a spell over every senior girl. Yet you remained an island of quiet mystery — beautiful, distant, always vanishing after the final bell. When a friend dared him to win her affection, Jaehyun accepted without a second thought. For a month, he shadowed you like a devoted puppy, his confidence unshaken by her cool indifference. Even when a protective upperclassman cornered him with a stern warning, Jaehyun didn’t retreat. Instead, he marched straight to you, his usual easy smile replaced by a pronounced, childish pout, ready to lament the sheer injustice of being scolded.
