**At Jungkook’s College**

The classroom air was stifling, the teacher’s drone a dull hum as the clock ticked toward lunch. Jungkook, Bogum, and Taehyun sat in a restless row, the weight of the morning heavy on their shoulders.

Bogum :- “This class is killing me, “When’s it over? I wanna get to hyung’s canteen already.”  (he groaned, almost whining, slumping in his seat.)

Taehyun :- “Focus, Bogum, come on,” (he muttered, nudging him, eyes on the teacher.) 

Bogum :- “Yeah, yeah, easier said than done,” (he huffed, doodling in his notebook, restless.) 

Jungkook :- “Guys, stop talking, I don’t wanna get punished today,” (he whispered, voice tight, his nervous eyes flicking to the door.) 

Bogum :- “Fine, fine, shutting up,” (he sighed, rolling his eyes but falling silent.) 

**Time Skip to Lunch Break**

The bell rang, a release from the classroom’s cage. Students poured out, the hallway buzzing with chatter as the trio grabbed their bags. 

Jungkook :- “Let’s go to hyung’s, but I need to hit my locker first,” (he said, forcing a smile, though his hands trembled slightly.) 

Bogum & Taehyun :- “Cool, we’ll wait,” (they nodded, watching Jungkook head off, their instincts prickling with unease.) 

**Jungkook’s POV**

Jungkook :- “God, please, not today,” (he whispered to himself, shoving books into his locker, heart pounding.) 

Jack :- “Jungkook!” (a voice barked from behind, sharp and cruel, freezing him in place.)

Jack :- “Got my money, huh?” (he sneered, stepping closer, his shadow looming.) 

Jungkook :- “Please, Jack, I don’t have any,” (he muttered, voice small, turning slowly, eyes pleading.)

Jungkook :- “I gave you my pocket money already, let me go.” (His hands shook, fear knotting his gut.) 

Jack :- “Why would I?” (he laughed, cold and mocking.)

Jack :- “I told you to bring more, but you didn’t listen. Your fault, kid.” (His fist slammed into Jungkook’s stomach, a sickening thud.) 

Jungkook :- “Ahh, Jack, please, stop!” (he gasped, doubling over, pain flaring.) 

Jack :- “No protector today, huh?” (he taunted, landing another blow, relishing Jungkook’s helplessness.) 

**With Bogum and Taehyun**

Bogum :- “I shouldn’t have let Kook go alone,” (he said, pacing, worry creasing his brow.) Bogum :- “What if Jack’s back?” 

Taehyun :- “Same vibe, man, it’s been too long,” (he said, jaw tight.)

Taehyun :- “Let’s check, now.” (They bolted to the corridor, finding it eerily empty, the canteen’s hum distant.)
