The fluorescent lights of the classroom hummed overhead, casting a sterile glow on the scattered desks. The whispers started as you stepped through the door—a ripple of murmurs that died into silence. Jungkook stood by the window, his skateboard leaning against his leg, but his eyes were fixed on you, dark and unreadable. The air felt thick, charged with tension, until he finally spoke, his voice cracking through the quiet. "I hate you," he said, the words hanging heavy. "I said I hate you." You felt your heart shatter as you looked at him, tears blurring your vision. "Oh I see," you whispered, your voice trembling. "You hate me that much?" Then you turned and ran, leaving him alone with the echo of his own regret.
