In the middle of his prank spree, Jungkook had been caught off-guard when Miss Choi finally figured out he was the one behind all the tricks. Furious and determined to put an end to his antics, she didn’t waste time. She called him to the principal’s office, intending to deal with him directly.

Once inside, Miss Choi looked at him with a cold, calculated anger. "You think you're clever, don’t you, Mr. Jeon? All those pranks, the notes, the rumors—do you think I’m here to be mocked?"

Jungkook stayed silent, realizing there was no way out. The normally confident, even cocky look in his eyes had dimmed, replaced by worry. He wasn’t afraid of pranks or consequences, but he hadn't expected Miss Choi to be this severe.

"Since you think it’s so funny to humiliate me in front of everyone," she continued icily, "let’s see if you’re still laughing after this."

She made him stand in front of her, commanding him to extend his hand. Before he could react, she brought her backhand down with force—one, two, three… ten times on each hand. Jungkook bit his lip to keep from wincing, but the sting intensified with every strike, his hands turning red.

Afterwards, she ordered him to stand in place for forty minutes without moving. His legs began to feel weak, but he forced himself to stay steady. Then came the final order: push-up position for an entire hour. Jungkook’s muscles protested, but he knew resisting or showing pain would only make things worse.

Meanwhile, Taehyung was in another lecture, entirely unaware of what was happening to Jungkook. By the time his class ended, he noticed some students whispering, but he brushed it off, assuming it was the usual college gossip. As he made his way to the teacher’s lounge, he couldn’t shake the feeling that something was wrong.

After an hour passed and he still hadn’t seen Jungkook around, he started to worry. He asked around, but no one seemed to know where Jungkook was. Eventually, he bumped into a fellow teacher who looked slightly concerned.

"Taehyung, you know Jungkook got called to the principal’s office, right?"

Taehyung’s eyebrows knitted together in confusion. "Principal’s office? Why?"

The teacher shrugged, lowering her voice. "Apparently, Miss Choi caught him in the middle of a prank. She seemed really angry. I heard she’s giving him a pretty rough punishment."

Taehyung’s expression turned serious as worry filled his eyes. He knew Jungkook had been pulling pranks, but this… it sounded extreme. Without wasting another moment, he headed toward the principal’s office, determined to find out what was going on.

When Taehyung reached the office, he found Jungkook still in push-up position, his body visibly shaking with exhaustion. Miss Choi stood over him, arms crossed, watching him with a look of satisfaction.

“Miss Choi, what’s going on here?” Taehyung asked, his voice tense with anger as he took in the sight of Jungkook’s red, trembling hands and unsteady posture.
