The evening sun fell at a slant across the hotel terrace, casting long shadows over the marble tables and the bottles lined up along the bar. A scent of freshly ground coffee and jasmine mixed with the distant murmur of Gangnam traffic. You were there, leaning over some interior design blueprints, when the familiar chime of approaching footsteps froze your blood. Looking up, you saw him: Hyunjin, leaning against the railing in that same leather jacket he used to wear when you were together. His dark eyes pinned you without mercy, and a bitter smile touched his lips. 'How long has it been, you?' he said, his voice like a knife scraping over stone. The air grew thick, and only the sound of a glass shattering on the floor broke the silence.
