Dead Winter Academy (Jikook)
Ep 1
The New Student Smells Like Secrets.
The sky over Edelridge Academy always looked like it had secrets. Pale grey even at noon, chocked with clouds that never cried. Like the whole place was holding its breath.
Park Jimin had barely stepped past the iron gates when he felt it:
His father called this a fresh start.
It felt more like a warning.
The receptionist didn't look up when Jimin walked in.
Receptionist
Room 3B. East wing.
Receptionist
No wondering after lights-out.
Receptionist
And don't talk to Jeon Jungkook.
She slid a worn keycard across the desk.
Receptionist
You'll understand soon.
Room 3B wasn't so bad--- aside from the frost on the inside of the window.
By lunch, Jimin found himself pulled into the orbit of three students who didn't hesitate to sit beside him.
Jimin just looked at them.
Kim Seokjin
Oh! Sorry hi I am jin, Kim Seokjin.
Park Jimin
Ohh nice to meet you Jin.
Kim Taehyung
I'm Kim Taehyung.
Jung Hoseok
And I'm Jung Hoseok. But you can call me j-hope.
Park Jimin
Nice to meet you all.
They talked for sometimes and in no time they became good friends.
Kim Taehyung: chaotic hair, sleepy eyes, he always knew more than he said.
Kim Seokjin: Too pretty to be real, loud enough to cover up how observant he was.
Jung Hoseok: Sunshine on the outside, but something unreadable just lingered beneath.
They talked to Jimin like they already knew him. Laughed when he made a sarcastic comment. Invited him to sit with them like he belonged.
It was the first time that day he didn't feel like he was being watched.
Across the cafeteria, another table sat in the shade.
Min Yoongi: Always reading something ancient, eyes sharp under long lashes.
Kim Namjoon: Build like a strom, voice low and rare, presence heavy.
Jackson Wang: too charming, too still. Like he was playing a role no one could guess.
Especially when Taehyung leaned too close to Jimin. When Hoseok laughed too loud. When Jin touched Jimin's shoulder and made him blush.
Jimin first saw him by the west stairwell.
Back against the stone wall.
Every student who passed him gave him space, like he was fire and everyone else was just paper.
When Jimin's gaze lingered too long, Jungkook looked up.
Jeon Jungkook
You're the transfer, right?
Jungkook smirked, pushing off the wall.
Jeon Jungkook
Room 3B huh? Good luck.
Park Jimin
What's that supposed to mean?
Jungkook leaned in, voice low.
Jeon Jungkook
You are sleeping in the room of the last guy who vanished.
Jeon Jungkook
You'll figure it out. If you don't vanish first.
He walked away like it meant nothing.
Jimin's hands were suddenly cold.
That night, Jimin stayed long. He swears he heard something-- a scratching behind the wall, faint murmuring in a language he didn't understand.
At the same time, in the west dorms yoongi marked a passage in his book.
Kim Namjoon
It's starting again.
Namjoon said from his bed, not looking up.
Jackson Wang
Another new kid in that cursed room.
Yoongi's eyes flickered to the window, to the East Wing.
Min Yoongi
And this time he is not alone.
