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.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOC7bBjdrNk
"You don’t have an umbrella, do you?"

Yuen barely glances up, his hands stuffed in his pockets. "I forgot."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiiAuC4keR
A sigh, a small shake of the head, and then—without hesitation—Chase moves closer, shielding Yuen from the downpour.

A simple act of care. One that goes unnoticed. As always.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDNGf0CCoL
"Thanks," Yuen mutters, already looking away.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9k5fiFScly
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.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbY7htXRnXo
"Dude, every girl in school likes you. Just pick one!"
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapX4jSuq4N
"Yeah, Chase, what’s stopping you?"
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshiMVwHNsg
A teasing touch, a flirtatious whisper. "You make every girl fall for you… yet you never choose anyone."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHONnTGpqdq
He smiles, but his mind is elsewhere—on someone who never even looks his way.

Across campus, a different story unfolds.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnT76AiTtb
"Can we take a picture?"
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWlE1Xne8S
Yuen raises a brow at Esreld. "Why?"
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsq36Jh6F3
"So you won’t be a ghost in our class display anymore."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKJ0oPUqmb
A few casual shots. Laughter. Then—a sudden pull, a near touch of lips, the camera flash catching an unspoken moment between them.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYlB2agbEJ
And Yuen… doesn’t pull away.

Back in the classroom, the air shifts.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZePYf3ycL
"Is that Yuen?!"
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKYdo2q8mH
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.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCJjudoNf9
A sudden heat rises in his chest.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALIxJ0uu3X
Jealousy.

Two lives intertwined in a past unnoticed. A future uncertain. And the question that lingers in the space between them—
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3in2ZJ7teG
Was I ever there?
