Chapter 9 - A World of Elites

The campus was bigger than it looked.

Much bigger.

Tahee walked beside Jungkook, her eyes scanning everything carefully.

Students passed by in groups—

But none of them felt ordinary.

"…Why does this feel less like a college and more like a battlefield?"

Jungkook glanced at her briefly.

"As expected, you don't remember much."

Tahee frowned slightly.

"…Remember what?"

He stopped walking.

Turning toward her.

"This place isn't a normal college."

A pause.

"It's divided."

Her interest sparked instantly.

"…Now this sounds fun."

Jungkook continued walking, and she followed.

"There are five main divisions."

Her eyes sharpened.

"Each one controls a different part of society."

A faint smile appeared on his lips.

"Stars."

A group passed by—

Beautiful. Confident. Radiating charm.

"…Visual attack. I approve."

"They dominate the entertainment world."

Tahee nodded slowly.

"CEOs."

Another group—sharp suits, cold eyes, powerful presence.

"…They look like they'd calculate profit even while breathing…"

"They control business and finance."

"Doctors."

Clean, composed, focused individuals walked past.

"…These ones look like they'd judge your health and your life choices at the same time…"

Jungkook's gaze flickered slightly.

"And Mafia."

The air shifted.

A darker group passed by—silent, dangerous, untouchable.

Tahee's lips curved faintly.

"…Now these are interesting."

Then—

Jungkook stopped.

His voice lowered slightly.

"And the last…"

A brief pause.

"Politicians."

Silence.

Another group appeared.

Calm. Refined. Smiling—

But their eyes…

Were cold.

Calculating.

Tahee's expression didn't change.

But her thoughts did.

"…Ah. The scariest type."

A slow blink.

"…Smiles outside… knives inside."

For a split second—

The atmosphere around them shifted.

One of the politician students glanced in her direction.

Sharp.

As if they heard something they shouldn't have.

Jungkook noticed.

But said nothing.

Tahee crossed her arms lightly.

"So… where do I belong?"

Jungkook turned toward her fully.

His gaze deeper now.

"You…"

A pause.

"Belong everywhere."

Silence.

Tahee blinked.

"…So basically VIP?"

A small smile appeared.

"…I like this life."

Jungkook watched her reaction carefully.

No fear.

No hesitation.

Only amusement.

And that—

Made things more interesting.
