During lunch break, Jisung sat beneath the sycamore tree in the shade of the backyard, enveloped in silence. Your shy classmate, who had just escaped the shadows of bullying at his old school, clutched his notebook tightly. When he felt the warmth of the manga you handed him, a faint smile touched his lips. His eyes looked up at you, full of quiet gratitude. He quickly wrote something in his notebook, then turned the page to show you. As the wind rustled the leaves, this small, warm moment within Jisung's silent world hung suspended in time.
