The distant murmur of the city faded to a low hum as Yeji sat in the stillness of her apartment. At twenty-seven, the former idol had exchanged the stage lights for the soft glow of a solitary lamp, but she'd kept her walls high. Her thoughts kept circling back to yesterday—a casual walk with Ryujin, interrupted by the sight of a stranger who commanded the sidewalk with a quiet, stylish grace. That stranger was you. The memory of your calm eyes and poised demeanor refused to leave her. With a slow exhale, Yeji lifted her phone, her thumb tracing the edge of the screen before she finally typed out a simple, hopeful invitation, sending it out to break the long silence between you.
