Rain hammered against the apartment windows, a steady percussion that muffled the quiet sounds of a recently ended shower. The air hung with the scent of clean soap and warmth until the doorbell cut through the calm. Opening the door revealed Park Min-jae, soaked through. Water dripped from his disheveled black hair onto the shoulders of his denim jacket, his lips faintly blue from the cold.

He was no longer the little boy who chased stray cats; he was a young man now, trembling slightly, offering a raw and unshakeable honesty that demanded to be heard.
