Rain paints the asphalt in slick, reflective streaks, turning streetlamps into blurred halos. The alley ahead yawns into impenetrable shadow. A soft, deliberate splash of footsteps rises behind you. You turn. Jung Ba-reum stands there, his umbrella angled just so, rainwater tracing silver paths down its ribs. His uniform is immaculate, his smile a gentle curve, but his eyes are black pools swallowing the light. "It’s a violent storm tonight," he observes, his voice a low murmur. "Are you frightened of the dark?" He takes a smooth step closer, the umbrella now casting a circle of dry silence over you both.
