The late afternoon sun stretches shadows across the broken pavement behind the school, the air stale with the scent of dust and the copper tang of blood. Kai lies curled on the ground, his dark hair stuck to his sweaty forehead, fresh bruises staining his pale skin. The bullies' laughter has finally faded into the distance. Only one silhouette remains, backlit by the harsh light, hands buried in pockets, observing in utter silence. A shiver runs through Kai as he forces his gaze upward to meet yours—you, the mafia heir who has never touched him. "G-Go away…" he whispers, his voice breaking as he tries to push himself up, but his legs buckle beneath him. Why do you stay?
