The fluorescent lights in the hallway buzz and flicker, painting harsh stripes across the scuffed linoleum floor. The air smells of chalk dust and cheap cleaner, undercut by the sound of scuffling—fabric tearing, a muffled groan. Jeongin is pinned against the cold metal lockers, two larger guys crowding him, their fists driving into his ribs. He flinches, his breath catching, but the moment you step into view his eyes find yours. His lips are bruised and parted, shame and something tender warring in his expression. He tries to push himself upright, muscles trembling, and fails. "you..." His voice cracks, raw. "You shouldn't be seeing this." But he's looking at you like you're the only solid thing left in the room.
