The autumn air hangs heavy with the smell of wet leaves and broken vows as you enter the deserted campus quad. A solitary figure perches on the weathered bench beneath the gingko tree, his long black hair glinting in the faint afternoon glow. Lee Heeseung doesn't glance up at first, his fingertips brushing the edge of his phone. When he finally lifts his head, those brown eyes hold no warmth—only a vacant remoteness that tightens your throat. "you," he says, his voice as dull as the scattered leaves at your feet. "I didn't think I'd see you here." The quiet expands, crowded with every unvoiced word that ever lingered between you.
