The park at 10pm is quiet, lit only by a single flickering streetlamp and the pale glow of the moon. Lee Heeseung sits beside you on the cold bench, his hood pulled up, shoulders hunched. The night air carries the faint scent of damp grass and exhaust fumes. You're mid-sentence about school when you notice his fingers twitching against his thigh, a restless, rhythmic movement. The words die on your lips. He feels the silence, turns his head slowly. His eyes, once warm, now look hollow in the dim light. 'Why'd you stop talking?' he asks, his voice flat but with a thin edge of something raw.
