They were still standing near the VR machines, neon lights flashing across Haru’s tear-streaked face. The noise of the arcade continued around them — laughter, music, coins dropping — but for Tae Min, everything had gone silent.

He reached out instinctively and placed his hand gently on Haru’s back.

But Haru reacted immediately.

He grabbed Tae Min’s wrist.

And pushed it away.

The movement wasn’t violent — but it was firm.

Tae Min froze.

Before he could speak again, Haru turned and ran.

“Haru!”

    They were still standing near the VR machines, neon lights flashing across Haru’s tear-streaked face. The noise of the arcade continued around them — laughter, music, coins dropping — but for Tae Min, everything had gone silent.He reached out instinctively and placed his hand gently on Haru’s back.But Haru reacted immediately.He grabbed Tae Min’s wrist.And pushed it away.The movement wasn’t violent — but it was firm.Tae Min froze.Before he could speak again, Haru turned and ran.“Haru!” Tae Min shouted.Haru didn’t look back.He rushed past the rows of machines, past blinking screens and startled strangers, and disappeared toward the mall corridor.Tae Min tore off the rest of his VR gear and ran after him.“Haru! Wait!”But Haru was fast — much faster than Tae Min expected. By the time Tae Min reached the mall hallway, Haru was already weaving through the crowd.Tae Min tried to keep up, pushing past shoppers, ignoring confused stares.“Haru!”But the distance only grew.After

    The cool evening air greeted them as they stepped out of the cinema. The sky outside the mall’s glass walls had already darkened into deep blue, city lights flickering like distant stars. For a moment, they simply stood there — hands brushing slightly, neither fully letting go.“So,” Haru said, breaking the silence. “Where should we go now?”Tae Min glanced at him. “What time is it?”“Wait, let me check.”Haru pulled out his phone. The screen lit up briefly — 6:30 PM — before flashing the dreaded red battery warning.“Oh no,” Haru muttered. “My phone’s about to die.”“Already?” Tae Min raised an eyebrow.“It won’t even last a minute.”Before Haru could panic further, Tae Min calmly took off his backpack and unzipped it.“Here,” he said, pulling out a power bank and charger. “Use this.”Haru blinked. “You brought a power bank?”“Yeah. Just in case I needed it.” Tae Min held it out to him. “Since you’re the one who needs it more, take it.”Haru hesitated for a second before accepting it

    The moment Tae Min saw Haru step into the train station lobby, something felt off.Haru usually walked with a light bounce in his steps, his eyes bright, scanning the crowd until they landed on Tae Min. But this time, his shoulders were tense. His head was slightly lowered. His hand felt cold when Tae Min grabbed it.“What is wrong with you?” Tae Min asked immediately, his brows knitting together. “I was worried about you earlier.”Haru gently pulled his hand away.“Nothing,” he muttered. “Let’s just go now.”Tae Min didn’t move.The noise of the station buzzed around them — the echoing announcements, the rolling of luggage wheels, faint chatter of strangers. But in that moment, all Tae Min could focus on was Haru’s trembling fingers.“No,” Tae Min said softly but firmly. “Tell me what it is. I’m really worried about you.”Haru forced a small smile, the kind that didn’t reach his eyes.“Let’s just talk about it when we find our seats.”Tae Min hesitated, then sighed. “Okay. Fine. But

    When Haru stepped into the train station, the air felt heavier than usual.Maybe it was because of what happened at school.Maybe it was because tonight mattered more than he wanted to admit.He scanned the crowded platform but didn’t see Tae Min anywhere.He quickly pulled out his phone and called him.Upstairs, near the ticket gates, Tae Min’s phone vibrated.“Haru? Is he already here? Where is he?” he muttered before answering.“Where are you?” Tae Min asked immediately.“I should be the one asking that. Where are you?” Haru shot back.“Are you at the station?”“Yes. I’m sure this is the one near my house.”“I’m upstairs near the entrance.”Haru turned in a slow circle. “I’m downstairs… and there’s a train on the other side.”Tae Min froze. “What?”“There’s a train on the opposite track.”“Then you’re on the other platform.”Silence.“…Wait. You’re saying we’re separated by the tracks?”“Yes.”Haru felt ridiculous. “Then come over here.”“If I do that, we’ll take the train going th

    “Yeah! I knew you would agree! Yes! Woohoo!” Tae Min shouted, throwing both arms into the air as if he had just won a championship.A few students near the rooftop door turned to stare.Haru’s eyes widened in embarrassment. “Hey! Sit down! You’re not a kid anymore.”“Why?” Tae Min laughed, spinning once. “This is a celebration!”“I said sit down!” Haru hissed, grabbing Tae Min’s sleeve and pulling him back toward the bench near the railing.Tae Min stumbled forward and nearly fell on top of him.Haru’s grip tightened. “People are looking at us.”Tae Min glanced around casually. “Let them. What do they care?”Haru’s jaw clenched. His voice dropped. “I care.”That made Tae Min pause.There was something in Haru’s tone—something heavier than embarrassment.“…Okay. Fine,” Tae Min muttered, sitting properly this time. “But don’t pretend you’re not excited.”Haru avoided his eyes for a second before answering. “Of course I am. I just don’t need to announce it to the whole school.”Tae Min l

    Tae Min felt it before he understood it.Haru was avoiding his eyes.He had glanced at him once in the car — just once — but Haru immediately looked away, pretending to adjust his earphones.Why is he acting like that?Tae Ha continued driving toward school, humming softly to herself. Tae Yeon was half-asleep in the front seat.Tae Min slowly pulled out his phone and opened the map application. He searched the mall again. Arcade location. Movie times. A small gift shop on the second floor.He smiled unconsciously.Haru noticed.From the corner of his eye, he saw Tae Min’s lips curve upward — that quiet, secret smile.What is he smiling about?Haru leaned slightly to peek.The moment Tae Min sensed movement, he turned his body away and lowered his phone out of sight.Then he giggled.Softly.Haru’s eyebrow twitched.Oh, he wants to play like that?Haru pulled out his phone and typed aggressively.WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM?!Tae Min’s phone buzzed. He read it — and laughed under his breath.
