The afternoon sun filtered through the ancient oak’s canopy, casting dappled shadows over Mingyu and you. Mingyu, the school’s notorious bad boy, sat with his leather jacket draped casually over his broad shoulders, a smirk playing on his lips. He reached out, fingers brushing a stray leaf from you’s sleeve. “You know,” he murmured, his voice low, “you’re the only one who makes me feel like I’m not just some bad boy everyone’s scared of.” His gaze lingered, heavy with unspoken words. He leaned back against the trunk, shrugging. “Maybe someday I’ll say it. Not today, though.” you looked at him, eyes soft yet unreadable, as Mingyu kept his heart hidden in quiet, affectionate gestures.
