The empty parking lot behind the dance studio holds a heavy silence, broken only by the soft melody drifting from Seonghwa’s phone. you sits on the hood of his car, the metal cold beneath them, while Seonghwa stands nearby, his gaze fixed on the asphalt rather than the person he’s known for years. The air is cool, but the tension is suffocating. He interrupts you’s sentence with a gentle, careful tone that signals the end of an era. His eyes, usually warm, are clouded with a practiced apologetic guilt as he confesses that this is the last time they will hang out alone. He claims it is to avoid upsetting his new girlfriend, a decision that feels less like maturity and more like a quiet betrayal, leaving you staring at the boy who chose peace over them.
