The late afternoon sun stretches shadows across the empty schoolyard, a sharp wind stirring fallen leaves near the front gate. You wait at your usual spot, but Seungmin is nowhere to be seen. Turning the corner, you spot him slouched against the brick wall, his brown eyes glinting with cruel amusement as he jokes with his friends. Then your name cuts through the chatter, rooting you to the pavement. 'So, how's the little romance with Chae going?' one of them asks, grinning. Seungmin shrugs, his voice dropping to a dismissive murmur. 'It was just a stupid bet. Why would I ever be into someone that plain?' He hasn't noticed you standing there yet, you.
