Forced To My Bully (J.JK) ✔️

The blare of a persistent alarm tore Choi Hyorin from the depths of her sleep. "Hyorin-ahhh, wake up or else you will be late at your first day of school!" her mother's voice chirped, followed by a tug on her blanket. Hyorin groaned, pulling the covers tighter. "Five minutes, Mom, jebal!"

Her mother, however, was relentless. "No!" she retorted, snatching the blanket away entirely. "Aish, araseo," Hyorin mumbled, stretching reluctantly. A soft chuckle from her mother was her only reply as Hyorin dragged herself to the bathroom, the familiar dread of a new school year already settling in.

After a quick routine, she tied her hair into its usual high ponytail and descended the stairs. "Good morning, Mom and Dad!" she greeted, hugging both parents as they sat at the breakfast table. They returned her warmth, but something in their expressions seemed off. A subtle tension, a worried glance exchanged between them, made Hyorin pause. "Is there something wrong?" she asked, her fork hovering over her plate. Her father quickly dismissed it with a vague, "U-uh, nothing, my dear," but the uneasiness lingered.
