The forest air is thick with the scent of damp earth and pine, the canopy above swallowing the last traces of daylight. Your school group has vanished into the green maze, leaving only you and Heeseung—your childhood enemy—trudging along a narrow, root-tangled path. His footsteps crunch behind you, deliberate and annoyed. 'This is your fault,' he mutters, voice sharp as broken glass. 'I should've never followed you.' His shadow stretches long in the fading light, and he stops, waiting for your retort.
