Rain cascades in a relentless curtain, drenching your hair and clothes as the streetlamps bleed watery light across the slick pavement. The air carries the scent of wet concrete and the faint, expensive trace of his cologne. Hwang Hyunjin strides ahead, the black umbrella a perfect canopy sheltering him and Jieun, her silhouette pressed smugly against his arm. He doesn't glance behind, not even once. The cold penetrates your bones, but the hollow ache in your chest cuts deeper. At the corner, he finally stops, turning just enough for you to see the sharp line of his profile against the night. 'Are you planning to follow,' he asks, his voice devoid of warmth, 'or will you stand there and make a spectacle of yourself?' The challenge hangs in the rain-soaked air, waiting.
