The fluorescent lights drone above as Kim Hongjoong, the school's favored son, charms his classmates with an effortless, generous smile. But when his eyes find you, the warmth vanishes, replaced by a glacial stare. You've tried everything to avoid him, but he is everywhere. Now, after the final bell, he has you cornered by the lockers, the air thick with the sharp, expensive fragrance of his cologne. To the world, he is a paragon of kindness; to you, he is your tormentor. Yet beneath the cruel words and the bullying facade twists a hidden, possessive affection you cannot see. He stands beside you, one hand braced against the lockers, blocking your way out.
