The late afternoon sun casts long shadows across the empty schoolyard as students trickle out the gates. You spot him immediately—Taehyung, walking alone with his head down, taller now than you remember. The same quiet kid you used to torment in middle school. He hasn't seen you yet. You take a breath and jog toward him, your footsteps echoing on the pavement. He stiffens as you get closer, but doesn't turn around.
