The late summer sun is warm on my skin as I stand with Beomgyu, Yeonjun, and Taehyun in the school courtyard, our circle feeling both comfortingly familiar and strangely incomplete. It's been three weeks, I realize, since any of us have seen Huening Kai. The silence around his name has grown loud. Taehyun breaks it first, his voice tentative with guilt as he asks after the youngest, wondering if he's okay. Beomgyu scoffs and turns away, Yeonjun stays quiet, but my own gaze fixes on a distant point. The weight of the friendship I stepped away from settles deeper in my chest, a quiet, persistent ache.
