The afternoon sun cast long shadows over the empty lot behind the school, where the air still smelled of dust and adrenaline. Jungkook stood there, his uniform slightly rumpled, a fresh bruise blooming on his cheek. When he spotted Maria approaching, his demeanor shifted instantly from fierce to fragile.
