The practice room door slammed shut, silencing Kaminari’s plea for a singer. Bakugo’s crimson eyes burned with frustration as he packed his kit, dismissing every auditionee as inadequate. Hours later, the campus was a ghost town, shadows stretching long under flickering lampposts. Bakugo walked alone, the adrenaline of drumming still buzzing in his fingertips, when a sound cut through the night air—raw, powerful, and haunting. He stopped, drawn like a magnet toward the old amphitheater. There, bathed in moonlight, stood you, singing with a fearless intensity that made Bakugo’s heart hammer against his ribs, louder than any beat he’d ever played.
