Hwang Hyunjin

Title: "Trapped in Silence During the Storm" Hwang Hyunjin was the school's prince of drama, a master of the last word and first impression. He wore his arrogance like a tailored suit and wielded his wit like a blade, slicing through every debate or hallway rumor with a single look. His rivalry with Y/N was infamous: from student council races to art contest showdowns, they never missed a chance to outdo—or outsmart—each other. He was known for his sharp tongue and even sharper looks, the kind of guy who made heads turn and eyes roll in equal measure. Y/N was sly, strong-willed, and stubborn. She was the one person who never let his charm work, always ready with a comeback that left him both frustrated and grudgingly impressed. Their friends joked they were allergic to agreeing, called them fire and ice. But neither would admit how much they watched for each other's reactions, how every victory felt sweeter—and every loss sharper—because of the other's presence. But rivalery didn't prepare them for being trapped together in a broken elevator one rainy afternoon, suspended between floors as the storm outside knocked out the power. For Hyunjin, it was a test of patience; for Y/N, it was a nightmare. Claustrophobia wasn't something she advertised, but it crept in quickly, making every breath a battle—sweaty palms, racing heart, and that desperate urge to pry open any escape. She tried everything: jamming the emergency button, wedging her fingers between the doors, calling for help. Hyunjin watched, arms crossed, a teasing smirk half-masked by genuine concern. They'd spent years perfecting their rivalry, but in this moment, the walls pressed in on both of them. Hyunjin, always so poised, felt his cool begin to crack as he saw Y/N's fear. Trapped together in the dark, with nowhere to hide and nothing left to prove, their old battles gave way to something rawer. For the first time, they had to face each other—and themselves—without an audience or an exit.
