YN was worried about Jungkook and couldn't get the fear out of her head as she sat in her classroom. What might he be doing, missing practice and classes? Was he with Mike, the reason she was nervous? She became very protective of Jungkook at the mere notion of his possible peril. The thought of someone hurting him or Lori was too much for her to handle. Scenes flashed through her head, each more unsettling than the previous. Did Jungkook confront Mike? It was a prospect that made her shudder.

YN's thoughts came to a strange stop when she saw Mike walk into the classroom. She was shocked to see bruises all over his face, but her heart skipped a beat when she noticed how strangely familiar the injuries were. It was obvious; Mike had the same bruises all over his body, the same ones that had bled YN's own flesh. She had a flurry of feelings that mixed surprise flashes of satisfaction with anxiety. It was obvious that Jungkook had confronted Mike, seeking revenge for whatever offence had been committed.

But like a lurking shadow, a nagging dread began to sneak into her consciousness among the flood of contradictory feelings. Though Jungkook's decision to confront Mike was courageous, any sense of vindication was overpowered by anxiety for his safety. Was Jungkook doing okay? Her mind was filled with doubt as the question kept coming back to her.

YN got up from her chair and walked out of the classroom with determination, not giving it a second thought. Despite the whispers and murmurs that swirled about her, her stare sharpened as she passed Mike, full of boiling hatred that refused to go away. In contrast, Mike exuded anger, and his manner stood in sharp contrast to YN's composed determination. Her resolve to face the matter head-on was strengthened by the fact that the events of the previous day were still very much on her mind.

YN was unmoved by the inquisitive looks of her friends as she continued on her way, her only concern being where Jungkook was and making sure he was safe. The din of voices surrounding her subsided into background noise as she pressed forward, driven by a strong sense of both resolve and fear.

As YN raced towards Jungkook's classroom, her heart pounding in her chest, she hoped to find him there, safe and sound. However, her hopes were dashed as she scanned the room and found only Lori, engrossed in the lesson. Panic threatened to consume her as she pondered Jungkook's whereabouts.

Impulsively, YN ran to the practice arena. Her panicked eyes darted around the empty space as she approached, finally settling on Jungkook by himself, deep in practice. She felt a wave of relief that lifted the tightness in her chest. YN was holding her breath without realizing it, her nervousness fading in the face of Jungkook's comforting presence.

YN's heart filled with relief as she got closer to Jungkook and saw that he was uninjured. She was so overcome with emotion that she was unable to speak, yet she was able to ask a straightforward inquiry in a worried tone. "Are you okay?" When their gazes locked, Jungkook gave her a quiet nod that said volumes.
