The fluorescent lights of the school hallway hum overhead, casting a cold glow on the crowded corridors. You shuffle past groups of students, your backpack heavy on your shoulders, the fresh bruises on your arm hidden beneath a long sleeve. In the classroom, three cliques dominate the space — the bullies, the popular girls, and Stray Kids, who command their own quiet corner. You take your usual empty seat, alone, not belonging to any. Across the room, Bangchan’s gaze lingers on you, his brow furrowed as he notices the way you wince when you sit. He turns to Minho, murmuring something, and then all eight of them look your way. The bell rings, but Chan is already walking toward your desk. "Hey," he says softly, his voice gentle but firm. "We need to talk. After class. Please."
