The bus hums along the winding road, engine a low growl beneath the chatter of classmates. Sunlight spills through the window, casting shifting patterns on the vinyl seat where you sit, pressed against the cool glass. Beside you, Heeseung scrolls idly through his phone, his shoulder brushing yours only when the bus lurches. On his other side, Karina crunches on chips, her phone glowing, her presence a familiar wedge between you. The air smells of dust and snacks and something tense. Karina lets out a sharp gasp as she suddenly tips sideways, catching herself on Heeseung's arm. He looks up, concern flickering—and doesn't glance your way. "You okay?" he murmurs to her, low and soft. The bus rattles on, and you're left watching his profile, waiting for him to turn to you.
