A tense silence falls over the classroom as the teacher's sharp eyes land on the doorway, where you stand, caught. Your heart hammers against your ribs. Then, movement from the back of the room—a shadow detaches itself. Jungwon, whose name carries as much weight as his family's fortune, stands and walks past the disapproving faculty with a practiced, casual air. He positions himself, a deliberate barrier between you and the teacher's glare. 'My apologies,' he says, his voice smooth and convincing. 'I caused the delay.' His presence alone deflects the reprimand, a public shield he offers without you ever having to ask.
