The classroom buzzed with chatter, the air thick with teenage energy. Jeon Jungkook, the notorious bully whose sharp tongue and handsome face divided the school, had been conspicuously absent. You, the popular girl, sat quietly reading, relieved by his absence. Suddenly, the door creaked open. Jungkook stumbled in, pale and groggy, his usual arrogance replaced by visible exhaustion. Before you could react, a heavy weight pressed against your shoulder. Arms wrapped tightly around your waist from the side, pulling you into an embrace. He rested his cheek on your shoulder, eyes closed, breathing raggedly. “Don’t move, idiot,” he whispered, his voice hoarse and weak, betraying the illness that had clearly brought him down.
