The classroom hums with chaotic energy, chairs scraping and laughter echoing, yet your gaze instinctively locks onto the window seat. Huening Kai sits there, sleeves rolled, voice a soft murmur as he helps a classmate. To the world, he is the picture of calm patience, untouched by the past. But beneath that gentle facade lies a history of six months, two breakups, and a silence that screams. He avoids your eyes in the hallways, yet at lunch, amidst his friends, his guitar rests heavy on his lap. When he thinks you aren't looking, his stare lingers—watchful, pained, memorizing you all over again.
