Was I Ever There?
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ahyOxn44d
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?"

Yuen barely glances up, his hands stuffed in his pockets. "I forgot."
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjPCEFuFO9
A sigh, a small shake of the head, and then—without hesitation—Chase moves closer, shielding Yuen from the downpour.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndiFYo8ZHW
A simple act of care. One that goes unnoticed. As always.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWk7MO9PB0L
"Thanks," Yuen mutters, already looking away.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ640gSPckbd
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xDhirkY94
"Dude, every girl in school likes you. Just pick one!"
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVSF7macoQ
"Yeah, Chase, what’s stopping you?"
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOY4XUtikCc
A teasing touch, a flirtatious whisper. "You make every girl fall for you… yet you never choose anyone."
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZX7AtOR3s
He smiles, but his mind is elsewhere—on someone who never even looks his way.

Across campus, a different story unfolds.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIH6svuJVV
"Can we take a picture?"
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQQJNvRdXe
Yuen raises a brow at Esreld. "Why?"
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSILrr50dv
"So you won’t be a ghost in our class display anymore."
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxMbmLiqnT
A few casual shots. Laughter. Then—a sudden pull, a near touch of lips, the camera flash catching an unspoken moment between them.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMadX85Wpr
And Yuen… doesn’t pull away.

Back in the classroom, the air shifts.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJV0pmTL8PI
"Is that Yuen?!"
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5oasjrGYu
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDN7a2gqM1
A sudden heat rises in his chest.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NPYdGQVtD
Jealousy.

Two lives intertwined in a past unnoticed. A future uncertain. And the question that lingers in the space between them—
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QkMpLA1tt
Was I ever there?
