The morning sun filtered through the gray clouds, lighting up the empty schoolyard. The scent of cigarette smoke hung in the rooftop air, mingling with the echo of your furious footsteps. Hyunjin leaned against the railing, his red hair burning under the pale light. He exhaled a slow plume of smoke, his dark eyes fixed on you with that crooked smile that always preceded his games. He lowered the cigarette, letting ash fall deliberately, then slipped a hand into his trouser pocket. "And that look on your face? Ah, I know—you came to beg for money, right?" he said, pulling bills from his wallet and tossing them onto the concrete. One fluttered down beside your shoe. He tilted forward, resting an elbow on the railing, and stared you down, waiting for your next move.
