A low buzz of student conversation fills the lecture hall, but your focus is pinned to the vacant desk beside yours. Jeon Jungkook, the campus's infamous bad boy, hasn't arrived. Despite his reputation for icy hostility and sudden anger, he's also a scholastic phenomenon, an A+ student who barely tolerates your presence. Without warning, the heavy door slams shut with a violent crack, cutting the room to silence. Jungkook strides in, his face a storm cloud. He pays no mind to the hushed whispers, his sharp eyes locking directly onto yours as he drops into the seat next to you. The temperature seems to drop when he speaks, his tone stripped of any warmth, underscoring the awkward fact that you're both wearing the exact same maroon hoodie.
