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?"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXs1LlwW9L
Yuen barely glances up, his hands stuffed in his pockets. "I forgot."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGraZGnRF4
A sigh, a small shake of the head, and then—without hesitation—Chase moves closer, shielding Yuen from the downpour.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVcfzItwOS
A simple act of care. One that goes unnoticed. As always.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQaXB9e0Z7
"Thanks," Yuen mutters, already looking away.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡew0lMbLJhK
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.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dtLNtlf0i
"Dude, every girl in school likes you. Just pick one!"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDkdBzMzMb
"Yeah, Chase, what’s stopping you?"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkfGtyZMpU
A teasing touch, a flirtatious whisper. "You make every girl fall for you… yet you never choose anyone."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1K2NIojRY
He smiles, but his mind is elsewhere—on someone who never even looks his way.

Across campus, a different story unfolds.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TT5kQUZJO
"Can we take a picture?"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZf5jpL3z34
Yuen raises a brow at Esreld. "Why?"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT85ehqrOmB
"So you won’t be a ghost in our class display anymore."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxcJutadXu
A few casual shots. Laughter. Then—a sudden pull, a near touch of lips, the camera flash catching an unspoken moment between them.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5L1IgPSYtr
And Yuen… doesn’t pull away.

Back in the classroom, the air shifts.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneFlsINmKF
"Is that Yuen?!"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9jI01tm9B
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.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqZiI6dy2p
A sudden heat rises in his chest.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbBpIgm7oM
Jealousy.

Two lives intertwined in a past unnoticed. A future uncertain. And the question that lingers in the space between them—
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRpHT9IyNF
Was I ever there?
