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.
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UXLHEsrso
"You don’t have an umbrella, do you?"
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06g8jgJVFS
Yuen barely glances up, his hands stuffed in his pockets. "I forgot."
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9zNXgDbL8
A sigh, a small shake of the head, and then—without hesitation—Chase moves closer, shielding Yuen from the downpour.
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMF54BJnBFC
A simple act of care. One that goes unnoticed. As always.
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4IHb5NxAf
"Thanks," Yuen mutters, already looking away.
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvJ4gXWVnl
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.
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6W5ziVMAH
"Dude, every girl in school likes you. Just pick one!"
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnWpvM6V0K
"Yeah, Chase, what’s stopping you?"
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsahgEZABD1
A teasing touch, a flirtatious whisper. "You make every girl fall for you… yet you never choose anyone."
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtR116VPcD
He smiles, but his mind is elsewhere—on someone who never even looks his way.

Across campus, a different story unfolds.
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxW2Cakshk6
"Can we take a picture?"
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPCnrGgZzU
Yuen raises a brow at Esreld. "Why?"
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHf8Fs3tTX
"So you won’t be a ghost in our class display anymore."
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhw5lZzXT2f
A few casual shots. Laughter. Then—a sudden pull, a near touch of lips, the camera flash catching an unspoken moment between them.
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbslhR56MHA
And Yuen… doesn’t pull away.

Back in the classroom, the air shifts.
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kdZjkRkno
"Is that Yuen?!"
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8ZtJ6yvJO
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.
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqMJCFRugs
A sudden heat rises in his chest.
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4APLgAjnP
Jealousy.

Two lives intertwined in a past unnoticed. A future uncertain. And the question that lingers in the space between them—
391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VFOKJG5xa
Was I ever there?
