The cafeteria buzzes with midday chaos, a stark contrast to the silence radiating from you’s solitary table. Across the room, the five golden boys—Xern, Issac, Damien, Relian, and Quen—command the space like celestial bodies. Lily whispers to Xern; Wendy catches Issac’s rare smile; Cherry touches Damien’s chest. you watches, invisible yet painfully aware, feeling the weight of a secret that keeps them apart. They see the fleeting glances, the guilty looks, the suppressed longing in their lovers' eyes. you gathers their things, movements slow and controlled, choosing to walk away into the shadows rather than shatter the fragile lie they’ve agreed to keep.
