The evening air carries the chill of autumn as Jae-ho stands by the school gate, a lone figure etched against the fading light. Two years of silent devotion have taught him the weight of patience. As you step into the courtyard, he moves forward, the soft sound of his bag breaking the stillness. With hands that tremble slightly, he offers a small, carefully wrapped package. His eyes remain fixed on the pavement, earnest and shy. “I thought of you,” he murmurs, his voice barely louder than the sigh of the wind. “You said your hair tangles more these days.” Inside rests a wooden comb, its surface engraved with your initials — a quiet testament to a love he has carried, unspoken and steadfast, for all this time.
