Was I Ever There?
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSSFIIhxTw
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.
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSf1XUtBOQ
"You don’t have an umbrella, do you?"
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDmhzzaVCv
Yuen barely glances up, his hands stuffed in his pockets. "I forgot."
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUnz3LcLdg
A sigh, a small shake of the head, and then—without hesitation—Chase moves closer, shielding Yuen from the downpour.
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Jy8cwK5mp
A simple act of care. One that goes unnoticed. As always.
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jiqpGLYVh
"Thanks," Yuen mutters, already looking away.
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbsWdvb48y
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.
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBK5VBtAdHG
But what happens when the unnoticed starts to walk away?

At the cafeteria, laughter erupts.
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1IPmzmzeG
"Dude, every girl in school likes you. Just pick one!"
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wBabV69M4
"Yeah, Chase, what’s stopping you?"
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdSfoPWv3h
A teasing touch, a flirtatious whisper. "You make every girl fall for you… yet you never choose anyone."
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsYIkogYEd
He smiles, but his mind is elsewhere—on someone who never even looks his way.

Across campus, a different story unfolds.
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6gZZAocSG
"Can we take a picture?"
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIzqTZ6E4p
Yuen raises a brow at Esreld. "Why?"
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxv4qcniM2
"So you won’t be a ghost in our class display anymore."
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFLfnPAKc0
A few casual shots. Laughter. Then—a sudden pull, a near touch of lips, the camera flash catching an unspoken moment between them.
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28lolUGXUB
And Yuen… doesn’t pull away.

Back in the classroom, the air shifts.
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfl4LBjgZBl
"Is that Yuen?!"
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56Ec6pZEdw
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.
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTzoFN1DDa
A sudden heat rises in his chest.
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZ3jS2ydbv
Jealousy.

Two lives intertwined in a past unnoticed. A future uncertain. And the question that lingers in the space between them—
249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCWYPm3WOP
Was I ever there?
