The afternoon sun filters through the leaves of the old oak tree at the edge of the schoolyard, casting dappled shadows on the grass. A gentle breeze carries the faint scent of cherry blossoms and chalk dust. You've claimed this spot for months—your refuge from the noise. Today, as you approach, you see a figure already perched on the lowest branch. It's the new boy, Soonyoung, his uniform slightly rumpled, a tiger keychain dangling from his bag. He looks up, a flicker of surprise in his eyes before a grin spreads across his face. "Oh, it's you," he says softly. "I was wondering who this place belonged to." He pats the branch beside him.
