Jungkook was standing right there. In Harley's office. His usually composed demeanor was today replaced by an uncharacteristic anger. His eyes bore into his grandmother's as he spoke, his words sharp and determined.

"I can't believe you're doing this, Grandma," he said, his voice tinged with frustration.

Harley leaned back in her chair, her expression stern as usual. "Jungkook, you know the rules of this institution. We cannot allow students to break them, regardless of who they are."

Jungkook's fists clenched at his sides, his frustration boiling over. "This is ridiculous! It was just a friendship between us. Chaeng didn't deserve to be treated like this."

Harley's gaze didn't move as she responded, her tone firm. "And yet, she chose to sneak out repeatedly, risking the reputation of Sylvania. I cannot overlook such behavior."

Jungkook's voice rose, his anger evident. "This is about more than just rules and reputation, Grandma. You're ruining a girl's future for no good reason."

Harley's eyes flashed, her patience wearing thin. "Jungkook, watch your tone. I am well aware of the consequences of my decisions."

Jungkook took a deep breath, trying his best to keep himself composed. "Give her another chance. She deserves it."

Harley's gaze softened slightly, a hint of conflict in her eyes. "Jungkook, you know I care for you deeply. But rules are rules."

Jungkook slammed his hand on her desk, his anger bubbling to the surface. "This isn't fair, Grandma. You're letting your bias cloud your judgment!"

Harley's voice remained composed, though there was a flicker of something in her eyes. This time, she felt taken aback. Why was her grandson attempting to cross the limits for a fresher student? "Jungkook, I understand your feelings, but as the headmistress, I must consider the best interests of the school."

Jungkook's frustration turned to desperation, his voice pleading. "Please, Grandma. I'm asking you as your grandson. Chaeng doesn't deserve this. Don't let her future be ruined because of a misunderstanding."

Harley's gaze softened further, and for a moment, her stern facade faltered. "Jungkook, you're putting me in a difficult position."

Jungkook leaned in, his voice unwavering. "It's the right thing to do, Grandma. Give her another chance. Let her prove herself."

Harley sighed, a mixture of frustration and resignation in her expression. "You're impossible, Jungkook. Fine, I'll give her one more chance. But if she steps out of line again, there will be no more leniency."

A sense of relief washed over Jungkook, and he nodded appreciatively. "Thank you, Grandma. You won't regret this."

Harley waved him off, her tone slightly exasperated. "Now get out of my office. And tell that girl to stay out of trouble."

Jungkook offered a small smile before turning to leave, his heart lighter knowing that he had managed to convince his grandmother to reconsider. He knew that no matter how strict she acts, she was still the softie he had spent his childhood with.

Jungkook's steps echoed through the hallway as he made his way toward the Student Council room. The corridor was dimly lit, the soft glow of magical orbs casting a warm radiance over the marble walls. He walked with purpose, his frustration fueling each step.

As he reached the entrance of the Student Council hall, he paused for a moment, taking in the sight before him. Yoojin and another girl, Misun, were deeply engrossed in discussion, their heads bent over a stack of documents spread out on the table. Their voices were low, and the room seemed to hum with an air of authority and purpose.
