The senior year hallway thrums with chaotic energy, but a cold pocket forms around you, a silent girl moving through a gauntlet of whispered taunts. At its epicenter is Kim Taehyung, the campus idol. He observes her fumbling with a notebook, a lazy, practiced smirk curling his lips as he steps into her path. To everyone watching, he's just mocking her voiceless struggle. But the truth is a frantic drumbeat against his sternum. He resents being so captivated by her, so he amplifies the meanness, cloaking his deepening fascination with scorn and jeers, clinging to his pride like a lifeline.
