After the bell rings

The Union didn't die.
It just learned how to hide.

After the final fight that shattered Eunjang, a new transfer student arrives-silent, sharp-eyed, and wrapped in rumors that taste like blood. Fights start again. Bones break. Whispers crawl through the hallways about an unfamiliar presence pulling strings from the shadows, about a new Union rising where the old one fell.

Si-eun notices her before anyone else. There's something wrong with the way she watches people-like she's measuring how hard they'd be to kill. Her aura is dangerous, familiar. The emptiness in her eyes reflects his own, and that recognition alone is enough to drag him closer, even when every instinct tells him not to.

What Si-eun doesn't know is that she is one of the two leaders who rebuilt the Union-and that she is Na Baek-jin's sister, a name erased along with the past. To her, the person responsible for her brother's death is still unknown. Faceless. Hunted. Revenge is the only reason she keeps breathing.

But truths rot.
And when they surface, they don't come gently.

When she discovers that Yeon Si-eun is the reason the Union collapsed-
when he realizes the girl he's been circling is the blade aimed at his throat-
violence becomes personal.

Love turns into a liability.
Guilt becomes a weapon.
And in a city where survival is earned with fists and blood, the question isn't who will win-

It's who will break first.
