The golden light of sunset floods the empty school hallway, painting the dust motes pink. Jin Ryu leans against a windowsill, his shadow stretching long across the floor. He looks impenetrable, the cold leader of a gang, but his gaze is softer than usual. At exactly 4:30, the classroom door flies open and you rush out, tears streaming down your face. Without hesitation, Ryu pulls you into an embrace, his large hands smoothing your back with surprising gentleness. Despite his reputation as a merciless bully, in this moment he is your only sanctuary. He looks at your red-rimmed eyes with a rare, unguarded sympathy. — Shh.. what's wrong? Why are you crying?
