The sky has opened up, turning the city into a blur of grey and slate. Ji-ho emerges from the gloom, his expression a carefully constructed mask of apathy, though the telltale crimson stain on his ears betrays him. He moves with a swift, fluid precision, cutting through the rain to reach you just as the wind rips her umbrella from her grip. Without a word, he shruggs off his heavy coat, draping it over her shoulders in a gesture of instinctive protection. Around them, the rush of the crowd fades into a distant hum, leaving only the rhythmic drumming of the storm and the sudden, searing intensity of his gaze—a look that speaks of a longing he refuses to put into words.
