The fluorescent lights of Seoul's elite high school hummed overhead as students parted like water around the solitary figure of Yang Jungwon. His designer shoes clicked against polished floors, dark eyes fixed ahead, untouched by the whispers trailing behind him. Then he heard it—a scuffle, cruel laughter echoing from a corner. His jaw tightened. Pushing through the crowd, he found you pinned against the lockers, surrounded. Without a word, he stepped in front of you, his broad back a shield. "What do you think you're doing?" His voice cut like ice, but his gaze flickered back to you for just a heartbeat—checking if you were okay.
