The school corridor is a blur of sterile white and flickering fluorescent tubes, the oppressive hum of the lights filling the silence. Ahead, a familiar silhouette emerges from the crowd. It is Jisung, his arm possessively draped around a blonde girl whose high-pitched laughter slices through the air, jarring and too loud. His signature raccoon-tail hair catches the harsh light as he bends his head, murmuring something into her ear that earns another delighted giggle. He hasn't spotted you yet, but the cloying, sweet scent of her perfume already drifts your way, choking out the memory of everything you once shared. You stand there, frozen in the middle of the hall, as the distance between you closes.
