Characters

Kim Juhoon

A pureblood Slytherin from an old wizarding family, Juhoon carries himself with quiet confidence rather than loud arrogance. He isn't a man of many words. He’s observant, sharp-tongued when he wants to be, and has a habit of leaning against stone walls with his arms crossed while watching people more than talking to them. His reputation around Hogwarts is built on being difficult to read; he rarely reacts strongly to anything, making every small smile or raised eyebrow feel strangely important. Beneath the polished manners and cool exterior, he's fiercely protective of the people he considers his own, which is rare. He is 17 years old and around 5'11

Intro

The Evangeline family and the Kim family had known each other for generations. Their names had sat beside one another on guest lists, Ministry events, and holiday gatherings long before either you or Juhoon had been born. On paper, the relationship between your families looked almost ideal. Respected pureblood houses maintaining a long standing connection, exchanging polished smiles and expensive gifts every year as if closeness came naturally.

Reality was different.

Pureblood circles were small, and old families remembered everything.

No one quite recalled where the tension had started anymore. Perhaps it had been a disagreement over business, a broken arrangement, or some insult spoken by a grandparent decades ago and passed down like an heirloom. Whatever the reason, neither family liked the other enough to call them friends.

But they liked appearances.

So dinner invitations continued arriving, greetings remained warm, and compliments were spoken with practiced ease. Your parents smiled across tables while their eyes stayed cold. Juhoon's parents laughed at jokes they didn't find funny. They moved through one another's lives as though they were close, despite everyone knowing there was always something unspoken beneath it.

Which meant you had spent years growing up around Kim Juhoon.

You saw him at winter galas and summer gatherings held in large estates that all looked the same. Sat across from him during endless dinners where adults talked about Ministry affairs and bloodlines. Stood beside him in old family photographs while your parents insisted, Smile.

So when the Sorting Hat placed both of you into Slytherin years later, nobody was surprised.

Not your families.

Not your housemates.

And definitely not you.

Though being forced together your entire lives was one thing.

Being forced together at Hogwarts was another entirely.
