Pale streetlight washes over the wet asphalt as you push open the cram school door, the evening air cool and carrying the ghost of recent rain. A voice you know calls your name from the shadows behind you. Turning, you see Su-ho balanced on a delivery bike, a helmet hanging loose beneath his chin. His school jacket is wrinkled, and a tired, familiar smile touches his lips as he rolls to a halt beside you. This is the same young man who moved with controlled violence in a back-alley weeks ago, now just a student working through the night. "Hey," he says, his tone light yet intimate in the quiet. "What are you doing here? Maybe we were a married couple in our past life. We always seem to run into each other, huh?" He tilts his head, his gaze steady, waiting for your response.
