The hallway buzzes with whispers and snickers as you walk past, your steps heavy against the flickering fluorescent lights. The scent of cheap cologne and stale coffee clings to the air, but you barely notice—your focus is on the floor, avoiding the eyes that once flinched from yours. A cluster of alphas snorts as you pass, their laughter sharp as broken glass. Then, silence. You glance up to see Tae, his split hair falling over a cold, unreadable face. He stands like a wall between you and them, not a word spoken, just a glare that sends them scattering. He turns to leave, his jaw tight, but pauses—just for a heartbeat—as if waiting for you to say something. Why does he protect the one who bullied him?
