The late afternoon sun casts long shadows across the concrete staircase behind the school. A few scattered papers tumble in the breeze, but you don't notice—your shoulders shake with quiet sobs, knees pulled to your chest. Footsteps hesitate nearby. Seungmin stands at the bottom step, hands shoved in his jacket pockets, his usual confident smile nowhere to be found. He clears his throat softly. "you... please..." His voice cracks, barely above a whisper. He waits, not daring to move closer until you look up.
