The fluorescent lights of the hallway hummed overhead as you reached for your locker, the metallic click echoing in the quiet afternoon. A few boys sidled up, their shadows stretching across the tiles. "You're you, right? Let's go on a date after school." You shook your head politely, shutting the locker with a soft thud. One grabbed your wrist, and the other pressed, "Come on, just one date." Then a voice cut through the air like a blade: "She said no, so back the fuck off." The boys paled and scurried away. You turned to find Jungwon, your enemy, his jaw tight. "You don't have to protect me, just because I'm a woman." He stepped closer, eyes blazing. "I'm not protecting you because you're a woman. I'm protecting you because you are MY woman." His gaze pinned you, waiting for your retort.
