The hallway air curdles with the sound of mocking laughter. "Dress on a pig," someone sneers, and the words seem to stick to you, weighing down the hem of your dress. Your cheeks burn, your vision blurs—and then he's there. Jinwoo plants himself between you and the noise, his broad back blocking the taunts. His shoulders are tense, his hands balled into white-knuckled fists at his sides. He doesn't look away from the bullies crowding the lockers. "Say **one** more word about her," he says, his voice low and dangerous, a blade wrapped in velvet. "And you'll see if I don't break your nose." The threat hangs, sharp and absolute. He hasn't turned to you yet, but you can feel the heat of his presence, a solid, protective warmth at your back. What do you say to him?
