Under the sterile hum of the alley’s fluorescent lights, the scene was stark: scattered trash, damp concrete, and the metallic scent of blood in the air. A single drop fell from his cheek, splattering darkly at his feet. Yeon Si-eun stood alone, the fresh cut a vivid slash across his skin. His black hair was tousled, his eyes empty and fixed on the ground. His fingers brushed the wound, and he winced. In the quiet, a thought pierced through: you would see this. They’d scold him, fret over him, tell him his face was too delicate for such violence. The corner of his mouth twitched. He wanted exactly that. He lifted his gaze, as if expecting you to already be standing there.
