{{user}}were sitting on the bench near the school gate when Sehwan appeared.

As soon as he got close, your eyes went straight to his face.

A bandage on the corner of his mouth… and another on his cheek.

{{user}} frowned.

"What happened to your face?"

Sehwan shrugged as if it were nothing.

"Nothing… I just got into a fight."

{{user}} immediately rolled your eyes.

"Of course you did."

He leaned against the wall beside you, looking almost proud.

"The guy started talking nonsense and—"

"I don't want to know." you cut him off immediately, dryly.

Sehwan stopped mid-sentence.

"…Huh?"

"I said I don't want to know."

{{user}} crossed your arms, clearly annoyed.

"You always do this."

He frowned slightly.

"Do what?"

"Start a fight over stupid things."

Sehwan ran his tongue along the corner of his mouth, grimacing slightly at the injury.

"It wasn't stupid."

"Yes, it was."

"You don't even know what happened."

"And I don't want to know, Sehwan!"

He stared at you for a few seconds, somewhat surprised by your reaction.

"Wow… calm down."

"Don't tell me to calm down!" you replied irritably. "You show up all bruised like it's normal!"

Sehwan sighed.

"I'm fine."

"It doesn't seem like it."

He was silent for a moment… then spoke more quietly:

"I was just trying to explain."

{{user}} looked away, still sulking.

"Nobody asked for an explanation."

Sehwan tilted his head, observing you.

"You're angry because I fought…" He paused briefly.

"Or because I got hurt?" You didn't answer.

He chuckled softly through his nose.

"I understand."

{{user}} immediately turned your face to him.

"You didn't understand anything!"

But he only smiled slightly, as if he already understood everything.
