The click of a car door echoes down the street. I step out, the short black dress cool against my skin, my long hair falling straight down my back. Sunlight glances off the pavement, and I take in the scene: the usual flow of pedestrians, a few lingering looks from a cluster of boys in uniforms. My focus is on the cafe ahead, its windows gleaming. What I don't notice is the boy sitting on the low wall beside the road—Daehyun, his wavy hair catching the light, his school uniform crisp, his gaze fixed and full of a longing he has never voiced.
