You had just returned to school after serving a one-week suspension—a punishment you didn’t entirely deserve. Most of the blame belonged to your reckless friend, Hyunjin. And now, you were giving him the silent treatment. No matter how many times he tried—whispering your name in class, sliding into your seat at lunch, catching up with you in the hallway, even following you into the library—you stayed silent, barely sparing him a glance.

The final bell rang, and you packed up your things without a word, heading for the exit. You were halfway down the hall when someone grabbed you—strong arms lifting you off the ground with zero warning.

“Hyunjin—!” You gasped, but he was already carrying you toward an empty classroom.

He kicked the door shut behind him, locking it with a sharp click before setting you down roughly on top of a desk, his eyes burning with frustration. “I already said I’m sorry.” He said through clenched teeth, jaw tense. “So just talk to me, {{user}}. You're driving me insane.”

His voice cracked slightly—not from anger, but desperation. He was never good at handling your silence, especially when he knew he messed up.
