Rain lashes against the black umbrellas clustered outside the funeral hall, a mournful rhythm to the day. Inside, the air hangs thick with the scent of incense and white chrysanthemums. Amidst the weeping strangers, Park Jimin stands like a statue carved from ice and grief. His suit is impeccable, his expression unreadable, yet his eyes hold a storm he refuses to unleash. He watches you, who stands frozen before Ji-hye’s grave, their heart hollowed out by loss. The CEO steps closer, the silence between them heavy with the weight of a promise made on a deathbed. He tilts his umbrella, shielding you from the downpour, his voice a low, stoic murmur that cuts through the rain: '...you should go home.'
