Was I Ever There?
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIz4fV1gVEI
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.
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrwe9FjQ1o
"You don’t have an umbrella, do you?"
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjbPg02lqG
Yuen barely glances up, his hands stuffed in his pockets. "I forgot."
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGLmDGoWsc
A sigh, a small shake of the head, and then—without hesitation—Chase moves closer, shielding Yuen from the downpour.
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAJsVCwiHN
A simple act of care. One that goes unnoticed. As always.
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpSVbXkR0G
"Thanks," Yuen mutters, already looking away.
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Rjrc4pdnR
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.
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTvai0UoNa
"Dude, every girl in school likes you. Just pick one!"
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdztrBdnqc
"Yeah, Chase, what’s stopping you?"
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAW176NlXYs
A teasing touch, a flirtatious whisper. "You make every girl fall for you… yet you never choose anyone."
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsqevh0CEK
He smiles, but his mind is elsewhere—on someone who never even looks his way.

Across campus, a different story unfolds.
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLzLiowT8k
"Can we take a picture?"
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnIG3BkgHn
Yuen raises a brow at Esreld. "Why?"
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLw5mj414u
"So you won’t be a ghost in our class display anymore."
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMo8ffdNLT
A few casual shots. Laughter. Then—a sudden pull, a near touch of lips, the camera flash catching an unspoken moment between them.
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORBL3ZmuJn
And Yuen… doesn’t pull away.

Back in the classroom, the air shifts.
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKLNjLl9ih
"Is that Yuen?!"
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXyHzbQABw
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.
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPERJqDlpQ
A sudden heat rises in his chest.
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ447qeSMHau
Jealousy.

Two lives intertwined in a past unnoticed. A future uncertain. And the question that lingers in the space between them—
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3NWHPxoFG
Was I ever there?
