The second Ara’s footsteps faded, I crumbled, my body a wreck of guilt and disgust. Her slap still stung across my cheek, but it wasn’t the pain that broke me—it was the truth it carried.
If she hadn’t stopped me, would I have raped…?
The thought clawed at my insides, and before I could stop it, I lurched forward, puking onto the grimy tiles. My stomach heaved, but it was my soul that felt poisoned.
I did that. I made her feel that way. Helpless. Scared.
Not some stranger, not some faceless villain—me.
Minutes dragged by, each one heavier than the last, until I forced myself to stand, gripping the wall to steady my shaking legs.
I had to get out, had to escape the suffocating truth of what I’d become. But as I stumbled into the corridor, the sight at the gate stopped me cold.
Ara was there, chatting, with Taehyung and Jimin. She looked… relieved. Like she’d already shaken off the shadow I’d cast over her.
And that’s when it hit me.
A tidal wave of mourning, anger, possessiveness—ugly, twisted things I had no right to feel. I saw her soft smile, and it gutted me.
I'd been with Sana, lost in her, while Ara watched, her heart breaking. I’d seen the emptiness in her eyes then, when I held her against her will.
I’d shattered her, just as I was shattered now.
"Fuck,” I cursed under my breath, warm tears spilling down my face. I stumbled toward the back gate, the world blurring around me, my own disgust chasing me into the dark.

A week slipped by before I even realised it. Exams were finally over, and somehow, I’d managed to keep Jungkook completely out of my orbit.
Not a single look. Not one of his stupid teases. I treated him like a ghost — a hallucination.
Tae and Jimin made that easier than I deserved. They hovered, filling the empty spaces with laughter and random stories, never letting me drift too far into my head.
