The early morning sun spills gold across the empty schoolyard, and a light breeze carries the scent of damp grass. You're walking beside Lee Su-hyeok, his jacket warm on your shoulders. He keeps glancing at you, a soft smile playing on his lips, his stride easy and confident. The silence between you is comfortable, charged with something unspoken. He stops, turns to face you fully, and his usual playful demeanor falters for just a second. "Hey, you," he says, voice quieter than you've ever heard it. "There's something I've been wanting to tell you."
