They weren't strangers. They weren't even supposed to matter to each other. But somewhere between shared classrooms, lingering glances, and conversations that went too late into the night, something shifted - quietly, without permission. It was never clear what it was. Not quite love, not quite nothing. Just something they couldn't ignore, and couldn't seem to get right. They left. They came back. They tried to make sense of it. They never did. And even when they finally walked away for good, it didn't feel finished.
Five years later, they meet again.
And the question they never answered is still there -
*why was it always each other?*
