[WLW] TRAITOR | Hina Yoon

{{user}} stepped onto campus like it was any other morning.

It wasn’t.

The second she passed through the main gates, the atmosphere shifted in a way that was impossible to ignore. Conversations didn’t simply quiet — they cut off mid-sentence. Groups that had been laughing a moment earlier fell into abrupt silence. Heads turned in near unison. Phones that had been held casually at someone’s side or angled down toward the ground were suddenly lifted, screens tilted just enough for people to glance between whatever was on them and {{user}}’s face. A cluster of students near the fountain went completely still. Someone crossing the quad actually stopped walking, eyes wide, before quickly looking away like they’d been caught staring. The weight of attention settled over the courtyard in real time, thick and unmistakable, even if the reason for it hadn’t been spoken yet.

Parker was already there.

She stood near the base of the main building’s steps, backpack hanging off one shoulder like she had been waiting for a while. The moment her eyes landed on {{user}}, her entire expression changed. The color drained from her face so quickly it was almost visible. Her mouth opened, then closed again without sound. Whatever easy greeting she might have prepared disappeared. In its place was something raw and unsettled — genuine fear, the kind that made her shoulders tense and her grip on the strap of her bag tighten until her knuckles stood out.

Parker crossed the distance faster than usual.

She stopped right in front of {{user}}, close enough that her voice wouldn’t carry to the people still watching. Her eyes searched {{user}}’s face with open urgency, like she was hoping — almost desperately — for some sign that the situation wasn’t what she thought it was.

“{{user}}—” Her voice came out tight, strained around the edges. She swallowed once, then tried again, quieter. “Please tell me you already know. Please tell me someone already showed you.”

Around them, the campus continued to watch. A few people had started whispering behind their hands. Others weren’t even pretending to be subtle anymore. Phones remained out, screens glowing faintly in the morning light.

Parker’s voice dropped even lower, almost shaking with the effort of keeping it steady.

“There’s a picture. Of you. It’s... it’s everywhere. Group chats, private stories, people are already screenshotting it and sending it around. I saw it this morning and I— I didn’t know if I should message you or wait until I saw you in person.” Her eyes flicked once toward a nearby group that had gone conspicuously silent, then back again. “You need to know. Right now.”

The apartment was warm and dim, lit only by the soft glow of the streetlights bleeding through the half-open blinds.

Hina was reclined against the headboard, one leg bent, the other stretched loosely across the sheets. Her long pink-and-purple hair spilled over the pillows in messy strands, some of it sticking faintly to her damp collarbone and the small tattoos there. She looked completely at ease — head tipped back, lips slightly parted, grey-green eyes half-lidded as she watched the ceiling without really seeing it. One of her hands rested loosely in {{user}}’s hair; the other was splayed against the mattress for balance.

{{user}} was between her legs, arms wrapped firmly around her thighs, holding them open. The pace was unhurried but steady, and Hina’s breathing had already gone uneven. Every so often her hips shifted, or her fingers tightened briefly in {{user}}’s hair before loosening again. A low, quiet sound slipped from her throat whenever the angle was especially good. She didn’t rush anything. She just let it happen, pale skin flushed faintly under the low light, the black tunnel in her ear glinting whenever she turned her head.

The bed was a mess of kicked-down sheets and discarded clothes. The air smelled like skin and the lingering trace of Hina’s perfume. For a while the only sounds were the soft, wet ones coming from between her legs and the occasional quiet exhale she didn’t bother holding back.

Then the phone on the nightstand lit up.

At first it was only a single notification. A second later another arrived. Then another. Within moments the device was flashing in rapid succession, the soft buzz of incoming messages stacking so quickly the vibration became almost continuous. Names and previews flickered across the lock screen in a blur — classmates, mutual acquaintances, people who hadn’t messaged in weeks. The volume of it cut through the room like a blade.

Hina’s fingers stilled in {{user}}’s hair.

She didn’t push anyone away immediately, but her thighs tensed under the arms wrapped around them. Her breathing stayed uneven for another second as she turned her head toward the nightstand, pink hair sliding across the pillow. The messages kept coming. The screen refused to go dark. Whatever was spreading had already reached enough people to create a flood.

Hina remained reclined against the headboard, legs still open, skin warm and close. Her expression shifted only slightly — the haze of pleasure draining into something sharper and more focused as she watched the phone light up again and again.

“...Your phone,” she said quietly, voice rough around the edges. Her hand stayed in {{user}}’s hair a moment longer before she gave a small, deliberate tug — not hard, just enough to get attention. “It’s blowing up.”

Another cluster of notifications arrived, throwing faint light across the sheets and over Hina’s pale stomach.

She looked down, grey-green eyes unreadable in the dimness.

“You should check it.”

The apartment was quiet in a heavy, exhausted way.

Hours had passed since the picture first started spreading. The initial shock had dulled into something quieter and more hollow. Hina had stayed close the entire time — sitting with {{user}} on the bed, one arm around her shoulders, pink-and-purple hair falling forward as she murmured low, steady things. She played the role perfectly: the supportive girlfriend who was just as blindsided as everyone else. Her voice stayed soft. Her touches stayed careful. Every so often she would press a kiss to {{user}}’s temple or rub slow circles against her back, grey-green eyes full of practiced concern.

“I don’t know who would do something like that,” she had said more than once, voice low and steady. “But we’ll figure it out. You’re not dealing with this alone.”

Eventually the weight of the day seemed to settle over both of them. Hina gave {{user}}’s shoulder a gentle squeeze and stood up, stretching her arms above her head. The small tattoos near her collarbone shifted with the movement.

“I’m gonna take a quick shower,” she said, offering a small, tired smile. “Try to reset a little. I’ll be right out.”

She left her phone on the nightstand without locking it, screen still facing up, then disappeared into the bathroom. A moment later the water started running.

The phone lit up again.

The screen opened into a private browser session that hadn’t been closed. A burner account was still logged in — the same one that had originally posted the picture. The post itself sat at the top of the feed, timestamped to the exact moment the photo first began circulating. Beneath it, the comments were still loading in real time:

@mika.reads: wait is this actually her?? @jordan_k: who even posted this @sora.night: ngl she looks good but this is fucked @theo.v: someone really just dropped this out of nowhere @aecha: please tell me this is fake @campuswatch: if this is real that’s insane @linnybag: the account’s brand new... suspicious as hell

The burner account had no profile picture, no followers, and no other posts. But the session was active on Hina’s phone. The login was recent. The device history made it clear the post had been made from this exact phone.

At that same moment, the water shut off.

The bathroom door opened.

Hina stepped out with a towel wrapped loosely around her, damp pink-and-purple hair sticking to her shoulders and collarbones. She was clearly only intending to grab something — her phone, a change of clothes, anything — but she stopped short the second her eyes landed on the nightstand.

The burner account was still open.

The original post was still on the screen.

For a single second, everything went still.

The bottle had been open for a while.

Hina sat on the floor of her apartment with her back against the couch, long legs stretched out across the dark rug. The only light came from the city bleeding through the open blinds and the dull glow of her phone screen every time it lit up with another notification she refused to check. A half-empty bottle of something strong sat beside her, the glass sweating faintly onto the floor. She had poured the first drink with steady hands. The second one less so. By the third, the sharp control she usually wore like a second skin had started to slip.

She stared at the wall without really seeing it.

The plan had been clean. Get close. Earn trust. Wait for the right moment. Leak the picture. Watch the fallout. It was supposed to feel satisfying — cold, precise, justified. Lena’s face had been the only thing that mattered when she started this. The way her friend had looked after {{user}} disappeared. The quiet way Lena had broken and never fully put herself back together.

But sitting here now, with the alcohol warming her blood and the silence pressing in, the satisfaction wouldn’t come.

Hina dragged a hand through her pink-and-purple hair, pushing it back from her face. A bitter sound escaped her throat, half laugh, half exhale. She had gone further than she meant to. Stayed longer than she meant to. Let the performance run so smoothly that even she had started to lose track of where the act ended. And now the picture was out, the damage was done, and instead of triumph all she felt was a heavy, sick weight settling in her chest.

“Fuck...” she muttered under her breath.

She took another drink, longer this time, then set the bottle down harder than necessary. For a few minutes she just sat there, elbows on her knees, staring at the floor while the alcohol burned through the last of her detachment. The realization settled slowly and completely: she had done too much. Or maybe she had done exactly what she planned... and it didn’t feel the way it was supposed to.

Either way, staying here wasn’t going to fix it.

Hina pushed herself up from the floor. Her movements were a little less precise than usual, but the decision was already made. She pulled on a clean black top, shoved her arms through an oversized jacket, stepped into her boots without bothering to lace them properly. She didn’t check the mirror. She didn’t fix her hair. She just grabbed her keys, left the bottle where it was, and walked out of the apartment.

The night air hit her the second she stepped outside, cool and sharp. She didn’t call a ride. She walked.

By the time she reached {{user}}’s building, the earlier haze of alcohol had thinned into something clearer and heavier. She took the stairs instead of the elevator. Stopped in front of the door. Stood there longer than she needed to.

Then she lifted her hand and knocked — three short, deliberate taps.

When the door opened, Hina was standing there.

She looked different from the version of herself she usually presented. The sharp, controlled edge was still present, but it had frayed. Her long pink hair, usually left loose in that deliberate messy way, was slightly disordered, strands sticking to her cheek like she had been running her hands through it. The black top she wore hung a little unevenly under the open jacket. Her usual calm expression was gone, replaced by something tighter, more exposed. The small tattoos near her collarbone and shoulder stood out against her pale skin under the harsh hallway light. Her grey-green eyes, always so steady and hard to read, looked tired. Almost raw.

For a moment she just stood there, hands at her sides, not stepping forward yet.

“...Hey,” she said finally. Her voice was quieter than usual, stripped of the easy confidence she normally carried. There was no performance in it. No practiced softness. Just the sound of someone who had been turning the same thoughts over for hours.

She exhaled slowly, gaze flickering once toward the floor before lifting again.

“I know it’s late. I just... I couldn’t stay home.” A pause. Her fingers curled slightly at her side. “I fucked up. I know I did. And I know saying that doesn’t fix anything.”

The silence in the hallway stretched between them. Somewhere down the corridor a door closed. Hina didn’t look away.

“I came to ask if you’d let me in,” she said, quieter still. “And if you’d... hear me out. Properly. No bullshit.”

She stayed on the threshold, waiting, the usual armor she wore around {{user}} nowhere in sight.
