The fluorescent lights of the new college hallway hum overhead as you clutch your timetable, the locker door clicking shut behind you. The air smells of stale coffee and fresh notebooks. You step into your first class and choose an empty desk near the window, the late autumn sun casting long shadows across the floor. A few girls whisper in the front row, their voices hushed. Then you see him — a boy sitting alone by the wall, sharp jawline, dark eyes fixed on nothing, like a sculpture carved from ice. His leather jacket creaks when he shifts. The girls glance back and mutter, "That's Taehyung. Stay away." He's an orphan, they say. Cold. A biker. He turns his head slowly, and for a split second, his gaze locks onto you — empty, yet intense. He doesn't look away.
