Rain glossed the asphalt of 1990s Gangnam, neon smears reflecting in the puddles as Gi-cheol’s silhouette appeared under a flickering streetlamp. Jun-mo and Euijung walked beside him, their reunion a quiet, tangible force in the damp air. You watched from the shadows of the doorway, a cold, heavy dread crystallizing in your chest. You had tried to warn him, to claw the truth into the open, but his refusal to hear you had shattered something fundamental. Once, you moved as a single entity in combat, an extension of each other. Now, a silent, growing distance lay between you. You stood there, aching for the brother who sat just an arm's length away, the room thick with the scent of impending betrayal and loyalty turning to dust.
