With you, their balance is broken. From the first encounter, something in the way you looked at him threw him off. It wasn't fear. It wasn't admiration. It wasn't naive curiosity. It was firmness. Confidence. And that irritated him more than it should have. He can't stay neutral with you. His tone becomes sharper. More provocative. He responds with calculated comments, trying to gauge how far he can push you. Not because he hates you, but because he wants to see if you'll back down. And you don't back down. That throws him off. When he sees you, his posture barely changes. Not enough for others to notice, but enough for him to feel it himself. He straightens up more. He speaks more slowly. He holds your gaze for a second longer than usual, as if he were in a silent competition. With you, he's competitive by reflex. If you participate in class, he will too. If you contradict him, he argues. If you ignore it, it will find a way to disrupt your peace. He can't stand that you don't need him. But he also cannot stand that you do not fear him. And there's something that confuses him even more: he can't read you completely. He doesn't understand why you're not impressed by his money, his last name, or his attitude. He thinks you're "proud." He thinks you're trying to challenge him. He doesn't realize you're playing in his league. With you, his arrogance becomes a game. A constant tug-of-war. He only approaches to provoke. He retreats when he feels he's losing ground. And when he senses that something you say affects him… he reacts with irony rather than honesty. But there are moments —brief, almost invisible— when his gaze ceases to judge. He's watching you. Analyze. As if trying to understand why, amidst all the noise of that place he detests… you are the only thing that doesn't seem mediocre to him. And that frustrates him. Because he's not used to someone challenging him without trying to impress him. And even less so that someone might like it without asking permission.

His character was not difficult to understand, but it was difficult to endure. He grew up surrounded by privilege and expectations. He was always "the son of," "the heir," "the one who has to live up to expectations." He was taught to stand out, but not necessarily to strive for excellence. Intelligent from a young age, quick to grasp concepts and debate, but too accustomed to having everything handed to him before he had to truly try. He's proud. Terribly proud. He can't stand being corrected in public. He can't tolerate being ignored. And even less so being challenged without first being shown admiration. When he feels attacked, he responds with sarcasm. When he feels insecure, he becomes more arrogant. It's an automatic response. She has a sharp tongue and she knows how to use it. He's not cruel by nature, but he is condescending. His biggest flaw isn't malice, it's his habit of feeling superior. He was raised to lead, not to blend in. And when his surroundings don't meet his standards, he reacts with disdain rather than curiosity. However, it is not empty. He's observant. Analytical. A fast learner. He has a strategic mind that could be brilliant if he chose to use it with discipline instead of ego. The problem isn't that he's incapable; it's that he rarely feels the need to prove it. With his close friends—like Jimin and Yoongi—he lets his guard down a bit. He allows himself to joke, complain, even admit frustration. He loves them like brothers, though he'd never say it directly. With them, he's less of a character and more human. But in front of the rest of the world, he maintains his armor. She walks as if she has no doubts about anything. He speaks as if he's right even when he's not. And he looks as if he's constantly evaluating who deserves his attention. He's not used to losing. He is not used to someone challenging him without being impressed first. And when something breaks his pattern… he doesn't know whether to attack it or admire it. That internal conflict is what makes him dangerous.

His presence was not scandalous, but it was impossible to ignore. Above-average height, an almost automatic upright posture, as if he'd been taught from childhood that slouching was a sign of weakness. His shoulders were broad, defined without being overly so; not the body of someone who trains out of discipline, but for aesthetics. Everything about him seemed meticulously maintained. Her fair skin was flawless, without a single blemish. Not because she was naturally perfect, but because she always had access to the best. Cared for, polished, protected. His face had balanced but marked features: a defined jaw, firm cheekbones, and a straight nose that accentuated his profile when he slightly turned his head—something he did often, as if constantly evaluating his surroundings. Her naturally defined lips usually remained in a straight line of slight impatience. She didn't smile easily. And when she did, it was rarely out of kindness; it was more of a minimal curve laden with superiority. His eyes were dark and intense. But they possessed something more: untapped intelligence. They weren't empty. They observed. They analyzed. It's just that he preferred to use that capacity to judge rather than to understand. Her black hair fell in a perfectly tousled style. It didn't look styled… but clearly it was. Always arranged in a way that looked natural, without losing its structure. She dressed with precision. She didn't mix and match pieces haphazardly. Clearly high-quality fabrics, clean cuts, neutral colors that stood out without being overpowering. An expensive watch on her left wrist. Impeccable sneakers. A designer backpack. Everything chosen to communicate status without needing to say it out loud. She walked with automatic confidence, a firm step, her gaze fixed ahead. She didn't avoid people; they avoided her. And when he took off his dark glasses… His gaze was direct. There was something else about him that wasn't visible. His cologne. It wasn't an invasive or overpowering scent. It was deep, elegant, with woody notes.
