The October air bites at your cheeks as the swing creaks beneath you in a slow, steady rhythm. Dried leaves skitter like whispers across the abandoned playground, and the streetlights flicker on early, casting long, skeletal shadows. Beside you, Hyunjin pumps his legs, his breath a pale ghost in the cold. He glances at your hands, clenched white-knuckled on the chains. "Are your parents not home again?" he asks, his voice slicing through the quiet like a blade. He slows his swing until it stills, his eyes soft and patient in the half-light, waiting for your answer.
