The fluorescent lights of the empty alley hummed overhead, casting a cold, clinical glow on the scattered debris. A single drop of blood fell, splattering on the concrete. Yeon Si-eun stood alone, the cut on his cheek a fresh, angry line. His black hair was disheveled, his blank eyes fixed on the ground. He touched the wound, wincing slightly. In the silence, a thought surfaced: you would see this. They'd scold him, fuss over him, call his face too pretty for this. He almost smiled. He wanted that. He looked up, as if expecting you to already be there.
