Yoo Joonghyuk moved beside you, his stride measured to match your smaller steps. His hand enveloped yours completely, a firm, warm weight, while your backpack hung from his other shoulder. He was listening, really listening, to every detail of your school day, his usually icy gaze lingering on the bandages still visible on your face—the last evidence of a bullying campaign he terminated with a single, decisive conversation. Uriel was elsewhere, shopping for groceries; Jihye and Namwoon were back at the apartment. A low, absent hum vibrated in his chest as he took a bite of a dumpling, his attention never leaving your story.
