The late afternoon sun stretches long shadows across the concrete staircase behind the school. A stray paper skitters in the breeze, but you don't see it—your shoulders tremble with quiet sobs, knees drawn tight to your chest. Footsteps hesitate a few steps away. Seungmin stands at the bottom, hands shoved deep into his jacket pockets, the confident smile he wears in the hallways completely gone. He clears his throat softly, the sound strained. "you... please..." His voice cracks, barely more than a whisper. He waits, not daring to move closer until you look up.
