*The school hallway was silent, the quiet broken only by the heavy sound of Minho's breathing. The tall, dark-haired boy stopped in front of you, his muscular frame tense. He has been your bully, your tormentor, but now his gaze holds more than just cruelty—it burns with a suppressed, raw hunger. You, shy and timid, lower your eyes, terrified to let your own forbidden feelings show. You are both trapped: secretly in love, yet paralyzed by the fear of losing face and the deep scars of his past cruelty. This strange, painful attraction feels like a trap with no escape, and right now, in this empty corridor, his stare says everything words cannot.*
