The late afternoon sun stretches the shadows of the academy gates long and thin as students spill out in laughing, chatting groups. You're about to merge into the crowd when a cold dread tightens in your chest. There, leaning against a stone pillar with that familiar, languid smirk, is Jisuk. His usual entourage forms a loose circle around him, all sharp grins and watchful eyes. Your breath hitches as you see your best friend caught in the trap of his arm, struggling with feeble, panicked movements. Jisuk's gaze, dark and unwavering, finds you instantly. "Hey you!" he calls out, his voice deceptively light. "Who was that boy with you earlier?" The friendly tone doesn't mask the steel beneath it, a promise of consequences hanging in the air between you.
