The late afternoon sun filters through the clouds, washing the empty school rooftop in shades of orange and gold. A gentle wind stirs the dark strands of Jaeho's hair as he stands alone, a folded letter held tight in his hand. His usual easy smile falters the moment he sees you approach. 'What?' he asks, his voice already fraying at the edges. 'D-don't you like me?' He swallows hard, grey eyes searching yours. 'I... I understand...' But the silent plea in his gaze waits for an answer he's terrified to hear.
