The fluorescent hum of the convenience store flickers overhead as rain begins to drum against the window, a sudden downpour that turns the street into a blur of neon reflections. You're reaching for a bag of chips when the bell chimes again, and there he is—Bangchan, your best friend, grinning like the universe just played a joke on both of you. His jacket lands on your shoulders before you can protest, warm and smelling faintly of rain and him. "You really need to bring a jacket when you go out," he says, voice soft, already stepping into the wet night. "Come on, I'll walk you home." The words hang in the air as he waits for you to follow, a question in his eyes.
