A red sign was posted on the bulletin board in front of the teachers' office.

📌 [Emergency Notice]

“Regarding student Kim Yeo-ju of class 2,

Launching an investigation into defamation and malicious rumors.

“Those involved are expected to appear before the school violence committee.”

The students were in an uproar.

“Hey, did Yeoju really have a problem with that guy?”

“You really are from a shelter.”

“Did you see Jungkook walking around holding hands with her?”

“Then what about Seokjin? Do you like them both?”

But at that moment.

At the end of the hallway, Jeongguk strode towards me.

The school uniform buttons are undone, and the eyes are straight.

The hallway became quiet at his appearance.

"hey."

Jeongguk stopped one of the passing crowd.

“You spread that, didn’t you?”

“What… what are you talking about—”

“I captured all of your Twitter accounts.”

And with that said,

Jungkook held Yeoju's wrist tightly and said.

“Kim Yeo-ju, come with me from now on.

Then no one can touch it.”

The heroine raised her head without saying a word.

Those eyes belonged to someone whose heart was broken.

“…Jungkook, don’t say that so carelessly.

I, I can do it alone—”

“You are not alone.

At least from this moment on.”

Taehyung was on the phone with his uncle, Kim Taesu.

📱 “Why now?”
📱 “I saw that kid briefly when I was little.”
📱 “There was something strange about it back then, but now that I look at it, it’s all connected.”

📱 Kim Tae-soo:
“The heroine is the one we decided to protect.”
“That kid has to survive at this school.”
“Can you... help me?”

Taehyung looked down at his phone without saying anything.

"...I should have told you earlier."

And muttered.

"however...

“I will protect you.”

Hyejin was preparing the next exposure material on her laptop.

Captures, screenshots, anonymous accounts, and fabricated documents.

“You should have just stayed quiet.

“Why did you make Jungkook, Taehyung, and Seokjin catch your eye?”

At that moment—

Seokjin appeared in front of her seat.

“Stop.”

“Why? What about me?”

“The moment I upload that,

“You don’t stay at school.”

Hyejin smiled bitterly.

“…Are you on his side too?”

"no.

“I just want to see justice realized.”

Inside the classroom, all eyes are on you.

The female protagonist nodded, although her fingertips were trembling.

"…yes."

And quietly,

“I’ll go too.”

“Mr. Jungkook…”

“Same class. Same group. Same people.

“Is that reason enough?”

Taehyung said.

“Now we,

“Are the three of them competing for Kim Yeo-ju?”
