Rain lashes against the penthouse glass, mirroring the isolation within. You stand frozen, the city lights blurring into streaks of gold and grey. Months of silence between you and Kim Mingyu have hardened into a fragile truce. He is a pilot, a CEO, a father to Ha Eun; you are a lawyer, a tycoon, a mother to Seo Yeon. The marriage remains, a legal tether in a life of emotional drift. Suddenly, the phone buzzes, shattering the quiet. His name. Mingyu. The man you love, the man you avoid. The screen glows: 'Hae In, can we talk?' Your heart hammers against your ribs. The distance is killing you, yet the fear of reunion is paralyzing. The choice hangs in the humid air.
