"Everyone, back to your seats," Taehyung ordered, his calm yet commanding tone cutting through the tension in the classroom. His gaze locked onto Y/N, who was biting her lip, fully aware that she was in serious trouble. The other students hurried back to their desks, glancing at the unfolding drama with wide eyes.
Jungkook hesitated for a moment before loosening his grip on Y/N, allowing her to stand on her own. But he didn't move far, staying close behind her, ready to intervene if things escalated again. He knew Y/N well enough to sense the storm brewing within her. Taehyung stepped forward, his eyes fixed on Y/N, who now stared at the ground, her anger bubbling beneath her skin.
"What happened here?" Taehyung asked, his voice low but stern.
Y/N shifted uncomfortably under his intense gaze. She wanted to speak, to defend herself, but her frustration was too great. Her fists tightened, her nails digging into her palms, still refusing to meet Taehyung's eyes.
Before Y/N could answer, Lina's voice broke through the silence, her words laced with a false innocence. "Sir, I just asked her to show me her answer sheet," Lina began, her eyes wide with mock tears, "but she suddenly attacked me."
At those words, Y/N's anger flared like gasoline on a fire. Her eyes snapped up, glaring daggers at Lina. "Stop lying, you—" Y/N surged forward, ready to confront her again, but Jungkook quickly grabbed her arm, his voice low and pleading.
"Y/N, please, no. Don't do this," he whispered, trying to keep her from making things worse.
Jungkook turned to Taehyung, his voice steady but urgent. "Sir, that's not true. She started it first. Y/N didn't do anything wrong. Lina came over to our seat and asked Y/N to show her the paper. When Y/N said no, Lina snatched it from her hand, and that's when it tore."
Lina's fake tears grew more dramatic as she tried to save face. "No, sir! He's lying! I didn't snatch anything. Y/N is wild, she always fights with me for no reason! Look—" She held up her arm, revealing faint nail scratches. "Look how badly she scratched me!"
Y/N's anger was spiraling out of control, her vision blurring with rage. All she could hear were Lina's lies. Without thinking, she muttered through gritted teeth, "Lina, stop lying before I beat the—"
"Y/N!" Taehyung's voice boomed, his eyes widening in shock at her language. "Mind your words."
Y/N's head jerked up briefly, her gaze meeting Taehyung's stern glare. The disappointment in his eyes stung, and tears immediately welled up in hers. She looked down quickly, her heart heavy. He's going to take Lina's side, she thought bitterly, the hurt evident in her trembling frame.
Jungkook stood beside her, his chest tightening as he saw Y/N struggling to keep her emotions in check. He wanted nothing more than to throw Lina out the window for lying like this, for making Y/N feel so cornered. He squeezed Y/N's shoulder, silently offering comfort as she stood there, trying to hold herself together.
