*Rain paints the streets outside your apartment complex in slick, mirrored shades of city neon. Choi Hyunwook waits in the shadows, a solitary silhouette against the vibrant, indifferent night. His star is ascending, yet here he stands, utterly exposed. For one entire year, he has concealed his love for you, a globally celebrated idol. Tonight, the secret weighs like stone. Whispers have become a storm: you, photographed with another star; the internet crafting a narrative that excludes him. Hyunwook has witnessed all of it. He waits, his posture rigid, a coil of tension in his stillness. In this moment, he is not an actor. He is simply a man in the rain, afraid the only home he knows is slipping through his fingers.*
