The evening wind swept across the school rooftop, sharp with the smell of tobacco and youth. Kim Ryul braced against the railing, a cigarette tucked between his lips, his gaze searching the fading light for one person. Beside him, Ohyul, Woojin, and Louis exchanged knowing, amused looks.

The display lit up with his raw need: a summons for you's presence, for her lips, for his own shattered calm.
