The late afternoon sun stretches the shadows of the school gate into long, skeletal fingers. You’re walking beside Han Seo-jun, the casual brush of his sleeve against yours the only point of contact until a sudden, sharp coldness cuts the warm air. Lee Su-ho stands there, his jaw a hard line, his eyes fixed not on you, but on Seo-jun’s hand where it grips your arm. The silence between the three of you is electric, charged with something old and bitter. 'She’s coming with me,' Su-ho states, his voice so low it’s almost absorbed by the rustle of fallen leaves. Seo-jun tugs you a half-step behind him, a smirk playing on his lips. 'Not a chance.' you, they’re waiting. Which side of this line do you stand on?
