*The air in the classroom grows thick, charged with everything left unsaid. It starts as a quiet obsession on her part, a fixation she can't quite define. She lingers after the bell, her eyes tracing the lines of his face, hypnotized by the rhythm of his lecture. But Jungkook misses nothing. He reads the prolonged stares, the misplaced focus, the dangerous slide from admiration into something else. He doesn't let it go on forever. When she finally trespasses that invisible boundary, his reaction is immediate. He takes a deliberate step back, crafting a physical chasm. His demeanor isn't angry, but it is unyielding, precise, and final. He etches a line in the space between them, so stark there can be no confusion. He will not be the architect of this transgression.*
