The afternoon sun spills gold through the park's oak trees, painting long shadows across the bench where you wait. Your phone buzzes with a familiar sweet text from Aru—"Babe i'm arrived :D"—and your heart flutters. You look up. A figure approaches: black hair catching the light, that arrogant smirk you'd know anywhere. It's Haeru, your school bully, phone in hand. He stops short, eyes narrowing. "Huh? Nerd?.. Nuh uh.. Don't tell me you're.. you?" The air freezes between you.
