Location: Hwayang High – Rooftop
The fight was over.
But the silence that followed was louder than the battle itself.
Videos had leaked.
Every student who watched the underground match uploaded clips—raw footage of Hamin's blue-eyed fury and Gunwoo's crushing defeat.
Gang forums lit up.
Whispers turned to warnings.
> "He's not normal."
"That wasn't a kid fighting. That was a weapon."

Scene: Hamin's Hospital Room
Bandaged but conscious, Hamin stared at the ceiling.
Daehyun leaned against the wall, arms crossed.
> "You were unconscious the whole time. But your body—"
"—moved on its own."
> "What happened to him?"
Hamin's voice was hoarse.
> "Gunwoo? Alive. Broken ribs, fractured arm, mild concussion."
"He told me to thank you. Said he'd come back stronger."
Silence.
Then—
> "Did anyone else… see?"
Daehyun tossed a phone onto the bed. The screen lit up with dozens of posts and videos.
> "Everyone did."

Scene: Gang Hideout – Kang Hojin's Crew
Kang Hojin slammed his fist into a locker, denting the metal.
> "He beat Gunwoo? That maniac?"
His right-hand man, a scarred teen with a bat strapped to his back, nodded.
> "With something unnatural."
> "I want everything on him. Background, middle school, parents, enemies, friends."
"If he's rising up, we bury him before he looks our way."

Scene: Areum's Perspective
Areum sat quietly in class, scrolling through footage. Her expression unreadable.
The video paused on Hamin's glowing eyes.
> "Seo Hamin…"
She felt something stir—curiosity.
A little fear.
Maybe something more.

Scene: Hamin – Back to School
When he returned, eyes followed him everywhere.
But no one approached.
Even teachers gave him space.
> "Monster."
"Psycho."
"Don't mess with that one."
But in the corner of the hallway—
Gunwoo leaned against the wall, smirking with a cast on his arm.
He raised a fist in salute.
> "I owe you one hell of a rematch."

Final Panel:
Hamin stood alone by the window.
In the reflection—he saw his own face.
And behind his reflection, the glowing blue eyes reappeared for a flicker.
> I need to understand what I've become.
