The fluorescent lights buzz softly, the only sound in the empty station. Half a year of friction has settled into a tense, wordless rhythm between you and Bangchan. You linger near the breakroom, holding your coffee, watching him. He stands by the window, a cigarette resting on his lower lip, smoke coiling around the sharp lines of his face. The rivalry that defined your school days has twisted into something far more complicated, something he stubbornly refuses to name. The air hangs thick with everything left unspoken and the ghost of old animosities.
