The morning light filters through the grimy windows of the school hallway, casting long shadows on the worn linoleum floor. The air is thick with the scent of stale coffee and teenage angst. You clutch Taehyung's leather jacket in your trembling hands, the fabric still carrying a hint of his cologne—the same scent that once made you feel safe. Around the corner, you hear his familiar laugh, sharp and cruel. He's recounting your most intimate secrets to a group of snickering friends. When you step into their line of sight, the laughter dies. Taehyung's smirk falters for just a second before he masks it with arrogance. He leans against the locker, crossing his arms. "You here for an explanation? Well, it was just a bet." His eyes, however, betray a flicker of doubt as they meet yours.
