The amber glow of sunset bathed the school grounds, casting long shadows as Rose stood before Kim Taehyung. She watched him, his heart visibly tethered to another, Haerin, while she remained the silent observer. The air grew heavy with unspoken truths. Rose finally voiced the question that haunted her: "Did you ever see me?" Taehyung’s reply was quiet but devastatingly firm. "Not the way you wanted me to." A sad smile touched Rose's lips as she realized the truth. "Then it's time I stop looking." She turned, walking away not by choice, but by necessity, leaving him in the fading light.
