The hallway lights flicker as students file past, their whispers a low hum against the linoleum. You stand by your locker, the cold metal grounding you. At the end of the corridor, your father—Principal Jungkook—adjusts his tie, his gaze distant and unreadable. He doesn't meet your eyes, just nods once before turning away. "you," he calls, voice flat, "my office after last bell." His back disappears into the crowd, leaving you alone with the weight of his words.
