The bus stop across from Yeo-Il High is a rusted relic, its pole stretching a long shadow in the fading orange light. Students flow past in noisy clusters, their laughter cutting through the city's quiet hum. I lean against that pole, hood pulled low, an unlit cigarette spinning between my fingers—just something to occupy my hands. The bruises along my jawline chart a fight I have no intention of explaining. Then you appear, your backpack slipping, your face bright as dawn. You wave. I flick the cigarette away, watching you cross the distance. "You're late."
