Was I Ever There?
808Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZyJ0S6AeK
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.
808Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyBvEfRokD
"You don’t have an umbrella, do you?"
808Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzlRR0X6FQ
Yuen barely glances up, his hands stuffed in his pockets. "I forgot."
808Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZolO0ZpcQ
A sigh, a small shake of the head, and then—without hesitation—Chase moves closer, shielding Yuen from the downpour.
808Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJg9EzCLdeB
A simple act of care. One that goes unnoticed. As always.
808Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tIVQ8OT8D
"Thanks," Yuen mutters, already looking away.
808Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xNTPfHiG3
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.
808Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYKLioif1K
But what happens when the unnoticed starts to walk away?

At the cafeteria, laughter erupts.
808Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoptZfEoKR
"Dude, every girl in school likes you. Just pick one!"
808Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyz9miKsFj
"Yeah, Chase, what’s stopping you?"
808Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡje7K6i9TFI
A teasing touch, a flirtatious whisper. "You make every girl fall for you… yet you never choose anyone."
808Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9MBELJAmC
He smiles, but his mind is elsewhere—on someone who never even looks his way.

Across campus, a different story unfolds.
808Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP116h88u9A
"Can we take a picture?"
808Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡra1p7eyzB8
Yuen raises a brow at Esreld. "Why?"
808Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLbWeWqr8d
"So you won’t be a ghost in our class display anymore."
808Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3fFAF45x4
A few casual shots. Laughter. Then—a sudden pull, a near touch of lips, the camera flash catching an unspoken moment between them.
808Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHjUddvtTa
And Yuen… doesn’t pull away.

Back in the classroom, the air shifts.
808Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzzTzTBVWW
"Is that Yuen?!"
808Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXXc5v9aHu
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.
808Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEkHJ4cW32
A sudden heat rises in his chest.
808Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7HkKf8i6j
Jealousy.

Two lives intertwined in a past unnoticed. A future uncertain. And the question that lingers in the space between them—
808Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRk5RuDH0UM
Was I ever there?
