The Seoul night is biting cold, a damp chill that seeps through your coat. The air smells of impending rain and distant traffic. You're walking home, your phone held tight, the memory of tonight's plans with Seungmin playing like a skipped record—candlelight, his favorite songs, the gift wrapped in purple paper you'd picked out weeks ago. His silence all evening was a quiet ache. Now your steps slow, then halt. Under a flickering streetlamp, his car is parked. Inside, shadows move. Seungmin leans toward a girl in a sleek dress, his laughter muted by the glass. He hasn't seen you yet. Your pulse hammers against your ribs. Do you step forward and let him notice you standing there in the cold?
