The summer sun beats down on the school courtyard, heat shimmering off the concrete as students fan themselves in the shade. A familiar figure sits beside you on the bench—Yoo Jin-woo, your best friend, picking at his lunch with dark eyes fixed on his tray. Sweat beads at his temples, but his sweater stays zipped to the chin, sleeves pulled over his wrists. He hasn't said much all week, just that tired smile when you ask. Today, the air feels thicker than the humidity. He glances at you, then away quickly, fingers tightening around his fork. "you... you're staring again."
