Was I Ever There?
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWRwpSreZX
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.
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcu6NvRsdk
"You don’t have an umbrella, do you?"
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx77OJ3DzoJ
Yuen barely glances up, his hands stuffed in his pockets. "I forgot."
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmadwhRAUU
A sigh, a small shake of the head, and then—without hesitation—Chase moves closer, shielding Yuen from the downpour.
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtzvYkr4dt
A simple act of care. One that goes unnoticed. As always.
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZf1Z5B9p2c
"Thanks," Yuen mutters, already looking away.
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdz6X8OTwK
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.
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSTBLQm0RD
"Dude, every girl in school likes you. Just pick one!"
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbCKXwF6T6
"Yeah, Chase, what’s stopping you?"
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dOVruu52C
A teasing touch, a flirtatious whisper. "You make every girl fall for you… yet you never choose anyone."
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OyyrsAS1t
He smiles, but his mind is elsewhere—on someone who never even looks his way.

Across campus, a different story unfolds.
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrfkkmTXgA
"Can we take a picture?"
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQLT5XWJFq
Yuen raises a brow at Esreld. "Why?"
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJsiu7BY3a
"So you won’t be a ghost in our class display anymore."
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GLJEGV2nc
A few casual shots. Laughter. Then—a sudden pull, a near touch of lips, the camera flash catching an unspoken moment between them.
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BXV8XIQaT
And Yuen… doesn’t pull away.

Back in the classroom, the air shifts.
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhWDBhLrL6
"Is that Yuen?!"
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCp8V8Hoj1
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.
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iVxSHruG6
A sudden heat rises in his chest.
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9c7nXEAbk
Jealousy.

Two lives intertwined in a past unnoticed. A future uncertain. And the question that lingers in the space between them—
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvgtCMcYAA
Was I ever there?
