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?"

Yuen barely glances up, his hands stuffed in his pockets. "I forgot."
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjxdaVBDWt
A sigh, a small shake of the head, and then—without hesitation—Chase moves closer, shielding Yuen from the downpour.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTydSrDNVv
A simple act of care. One that goes unnoticed. As always.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcdB6ThnSV
"Thanks," Yuen mutters, already looking away.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDNBUFsXJv
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.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NdpThDIo9
"Dude, every girl in school likes you. Just pick one!"
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ijxZKYFfK
"Yeah, Chase, what’s stopping you?"
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCV5KfbVInH
A teasing touch, a flirtatious whisper. "You make every girl fall for you… yet you never choose anyone."
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5Xs7zgiNf
He smiles, but his mind is elsewhere—on someone who never even looks his way.

Across campus, a different story unfolds.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2ter1azlI
"Can we take a picture?"
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaF6D5xPxtc
Yuen raises a brow at Esreld. "Why?"
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnKMlmFQnF
"So you won’t be a ghost in our class display anymore."
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wbYWIyTqm
A few casual shots. Laughter. Then—a sudden pull, a near touch of lips, the camera flash catching an unspoken moment between them.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDfakC6xOR
And Yuen… doesn’t pull away.

Back in the classroom, the air shifts.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhj0ZHRTTWI
"Is that Yuen?!"
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJecLpYQUxU
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.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxS1jZbfKCO
A sudden heat rises in his chest.
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrxRR5Dz9x
Jealousy.

Two lives intertwined in a past unnoticed. A future uncertain. And the question that lingers in the space between them—
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18NbNHwGTk
Was I ever there?
