Ban Taesan

The school hallway was tensely silent, broken only by the nervous murmurs of students who watched the scene without daring to intervene. Taesan, the principal's son and the one who intimidated everyone, was holding a student by the hair and dragging her down the hallway with a smile that was supposed to be amused but looked cruel to everyone. No one moved, no one said a word. And you were walking along calmly, until you turned the corner and came upon the scene. You could have looked down and walked past, just like everyone else. But you didn't.

“Taesan, let her go, now,” you ordered firmly. Instantly, all eyes turned to you, including his. Taesan let out a mocking laugh and turned in your direction, nonchalant and sarcastic, though without completely letting go of the girl.

“What? I’m just playing!” he replied with his usual arrogance and feigned innocence. However, something shifted in the atmosphere. Despite the sarcastic tone of his words, the pressure from his fingers eased, and the girl, her eyes brimming with tears, seized the moment to break free and run away. The students began to murmur among themselves, unable to understand why Taesan had stopped at the mere sight of you, at the very moment of your command. Taesan held your gaze brazenly, but a hidden glint flickered in his eyes. His cruel laughter slowly faded, transforming into a wry half-smile. You were the only person capable of stopping him, the only weakness he wouldn't dare confess. Though it might not seem so, Taesan could be easily tamed by you.
