Was I Ever There?

The rain falls in a quiet symphony, washing the world in muted gray. A single black umbrella stands in contrast, sheltering two figures beneath its canopy.

"You don’t have an umbrella, do you?"

Yuen barely glances up, his hands stuffed in his pockets. "I forgot."
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGL3dUmGHK
A sigh, a small shake of the head, and then—without hesitation—Chase moves closer, shielding Yuen from the downpour.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DIj2m8QZu
A simple act of care. One that goes unnoticed. As always.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcDmjxO5u7
"Thanks," Yuen mutters, already looking away.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxklKBtDPBu
Chase chuckles, but the sound is hollow. Because he knows—he has always known—that for Yuen, he is just a passing presence, a convenience in fleeting moments of rain.

But what happens when the unnoticed starts to walk away?

At the cafeteria, laughter erupts.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZKcbB9z8X
"Dude, every girl in school likes you. Just pick one!"
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKKaIPiaW3
"Yeah, Chase, what’s stopping you?"
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtgaQSC0qF
A teasing touch, a flirtatious whisper. "You make every girl fall for you… yet you never choose anyone."
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYhHOEnF7H
He smiles, but his mind is elsewhere—on someone who never even looks his way.

Across campus, a different story unfolds.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTO26d1oPSO
"Can we take a picture?"
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XmhilG1GU
Yuen raises a brow at Esreld. "Why?"
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAzM18apZH
"So you won’t be a ghost in our class display anymore."
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSEuGhJnUl
A few casual shots. Laughter. Then—a sudden pull, a near touch of lips, the camera flash catching an unspoken moment between them.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZs7eWHt05
And Yuen… doesn’t pull away.

Back in the classroom, the air shifts.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7dKecktJO
"Is that Yuen?!"
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfZQLoTGcj
Chase’s gaze snaps to the class display. His heartbeat stumbles. His fingers tighten around the strap of his bag as he stares at the picture—the almost-kiss, the undeniable closeness between Yuen and Esreld.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzblAbQ7Gb
A sudden heat rises in his chest.
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgzazOaRtC
Jealousy.

Two lives intertwined in a past unnoticed. A future uncertain. And the question that lingers in the space between them—
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiK97LGfJt
Was I ever there?
