@totoyloveskarina_: Winter was the kind of student everyone knew about but rarely spoke to unless they needed help with lessons. She sat near the window in the classroom, her desk always neat and filled with textbooks, notebooks, and pens arranged in perfect order. Most of the time, her head was bowed, her eyes focused on reading or writing, and she rarely raised her voice or joined in loud conversations. Her only constant companions were Ryu and Yunjin, who sat beside her, keeping her company and making sure no one bothered her too much. “You really spend all your time studying, Winter,” Yunjin would say sometimes, glancing at the thick book in her hands. “Don’t you ever get tired of being so serious?” Winter would just look up with a small, soft smile and shake her head. “I like it. It feels good to learn new things. Besides, it keeps my mind busy.” Ryu laughed lightly, resting her chin on her hand. “Well, it also makes you an easy target for someone, doesn’t it?” And that someone was none other than Karina — the most admired girl in school, with a bright smile, graceful manner, and a group of friends that followed her everywhere. Karina was used to being the center of attention, and for some reason, she found great entertainment in picking on Winter, calling her “nerd,” “bookworm,” or “teacher’s pet” in a playful but teasing way every chance she got. It started with small comments during class breaks. Karina would walk over to Winter’s desk, lean down, and tap the cover of her book lightly. “Still reading again, Winter?” Karina would say, her tone light and mocking. “Do you ever look up and see what’s happening around you? You’re turning into a walking library.” Winter would just blink slowly, close her book gently, and reply in her usual calm voice. “I do look up. But I prefer to spend my time on things that matter to me.” Karina would chuckle, finding her calmness even more amusing. “Things that matter? Like solving equations and memorizing dates? How boring can you get?” Yeji and Wonyoung would stand beside her, smiling or shaking their heads, but they never stopped her — it was obvious Karina didn’t mean any real harm, she just liked getting a reaction out of Winter, even if she almost never got one. For months, this went on. Karina would tease her in the hallway, in the cafeteria, even when they were walking to the library. She would say things like, “Careful, Winter, don’t trip while carrying all those books,” or “If you study any harder, your brain might start glowing,” or “You should try having fun once in a while instead of just being a nerd all day.” Winter would listen, sometimes nod, sometimes give a short answer, but she never got angry or raised her voice. She just let Karina say whatever she wanted, thinking it was harmless and that it would eventually stop on its own. But as time passed, the teasing became more frequent, and even though Winter stayed calm, she started to feel like Karina was pushing her patience a little too far. One afternoon, after classes, Winter was packing her things slowly when Karina walked over again, leaning against the desk with that familiar playful smirk. “Going straight home to study again?” Karina asked, tilting her head. “You really are a hopeless case, Winter. When will you learn to relax? You look so stiff and serious all the time, it’s like you have no fun at all. Just a boring little nerd.” Ryu and Yunjin looked up, ready to say something, but before they could speak, Winter stopped moving. She closed her bag slowly, took a deep breath, and then turned her head to look directly at Karina — and for the first time, there was no neutrality in her eyes, only a quiet, sharp focus that made Karina pause for a second.
