The classroom felt heavy with the dull buzz of a Tuesday afternoon, a stark backdrop to the quiet storm you carried inside. The sting of Lee Minho's rejection was a fresh, invisible weight. In the far corner, Bang Chan sat alone, the school's quiet outcast, his eyes following your every move with a tenderness that made his cheeks bloom pink. He saw the tears you fought back, and his own heart ached in sympathy. To him, you were never a consolation prize—you were the only prize. As you stepped into the room, oblivious to his shy, longing smile, the air between you thickened with everything left unspoken and the fragile hope of a different kind of love.
