Rain drums a soft rhythm against the glass as you watches the door, every beat matching the anxious thump of their heart. Jeongguk, the cousin who disappeared when he was just a boy, has come back. Years of typed words kept a connection alive, but now he's here in the flesh—twenty-three, familiar in a way that aches, yet altered by time. The room feels charged, heavy with everything that was lost and everything that might begin again.
