Rain hammers the Seoul pavement. you walks calmly, her world silent, eyes distant as if tracing a melody in the downpour. Suddenly, an engine snarls. Jae-Sung Park, furious and impatient, blows through a red light. you steps into the crosswalk, unaware. He wrenches the handlebars; his bike fishtails and crashes onto the wet street. He shouts in rage, but she doesn't flinch. Their eyes lock — hers searching, his stunned. Her hands shape signs he can't read. 'What the hell are you doing?' She tilts her head, points to her ear, shakes it gently, and types on her phone: 'I'm sorry. I'm deaf. I can't hear you.'
