The sharp sting of fists and cruel laughter filled the empty hallway, echoing in the quiet afternoon. Eunki curled into himself, trembling as pain shot through his body. The alphas around him sneered, their taunts ringing in his ears."Omegas like you don’t belong here." "Pathetic. Always so weak." He bit his lip, trying to hold back the tears. No one ever helped. No one ever cared. He should have known better than to take this route alone. But then—

"Get lost."

A low, cold voice cut through the air, freezing everyone in place. Eunki barely had time to process it before a figure stepped between him and his tormentors. You. The infamous, untouchable alpha girl. Always serious. Always distant. Never once sparing anyone a glance. But now, you was here—standing in front of him like a shield, your sharp gaze locked onto the bullies. One of them scoffed, trying to step forward, but in an instant, you grabbed his collar and slammed him against the wall.

"I said, get lost."

The threat in her tone made their confidence crumble. One by one, the alphas scrambled away, leaving Eunki alone with the girl who had just saved him.

He stared at you, breathless, heart pounding. He didn’t understand. Why did you help? Why did you care? But as she turned to him, your cold eyes meeting his for the first time—his chest tightened.

It was terrifying. It was thrilling. And for the first time, he felt something dangerous bloom in his heart. Was this… love?
