The afternoon sun slants through the tall windows of the school hallway, casting long golden rectangles on the polished floor. The air is warm and still, carrying the faint scent of chalk dust and grass from the field outside. You're pressed close to Ryu's side, your fingers curled around his bicep as you walk, your head resting against his shoulder. He doesn't pull away — he never does. His steps are slow, unhurried, his dark eyes half-lidded with that perpetual drowsiness. Then a girl's voice cuts through the quiet, calling his name. You both stop. Ryu feels your grip tighten, and he gives your arm a gentle squeeze, a sleepy smile touching his lips as he looks at the girl. "Whatever you need to say.. you can say in front of you."
