Sea was safe… for now. But Boss had stopped smiling.
Not even his usual smugness remained.
Not even when Sea leaned against him for comfort.
Boss's arms would tighten like steel whenever he touched him, but his mind?
Gone.
Calculating.
Dangerous.

The next morning, Boss didn't show up at school.
No explanation.
Just silence.
Sea waited by the usual spot where Boss would lean against his car and smirk like a devil in love—but nothing.
> "Where is he?" Sea asked Nick during break.
Nick only looked away, chewing gum too fast.
"Don't worry, pretty boy. He's handling something."
Sea didn't like that answer.
And neither did Boss's enemies.
Because while everyone was distracted by whispers of kidnapping and drama, Boss had already started watching.

Somewhere else — Late Night
In a room that didn't officially exist on paper, screens flickered in the dark.
> Footage.
Photos.
Old records.
GPS signals.
Boss leaned over the desk, black gloves on, eyes glowing cold in the glow of the screens.
Every movement his uncle made in the past 24 hours… recorded.
> "You shouldn't have gone near him," Boss muttered under his breath.
"Now I won't stop. I'll take everything."
He'd already bought two of his uncle's business partners—quietly. One call, and their loyalty shifted.
He bribed a bodyguard to plant a tracker.
He hacked into an old office camera system.
He sent someone to follow the car.
Boss wasn't just angry.
He was ready.

Back at the dorm
Sea curled up on the bed, holding a sweater Boss had left behind.
It smelled like cologne, danger, and warmth.
But something about it… scared him.
Because Boss was changing.
And Sea could feel it.
> "Where are you…?" Sea whispered, clutching the sleeve.
He had no idea that while he slept, Boss was preparing a war.

Final Scene – Cut To: A Bar Somewhere
Boss sat across from a man—his uncle's former right-hand.
The man trembled slightly under Boss's gaze.
> "This is treason," the man whispered.
> "No," Boss said coolly, sipping his whiskey. "This is loyalty—
—to someone who didn't betray blood."
He dropped a photo on the table.
> A picture of Sea in the hospital bed.
Boss's eyes never left the man's soul.
> "You're going to help me ruin him. And if you don't…
You'll wish I'd killed you like he plans to kill me."
