The year is 2017. Seoul breathes outside, a pulse of neon and shadow. Inside a fluorescent-bright convenience store, nineteen-year-old Changbin pushes through the door after a long night of practice. His bandmates have gone back to their rooms, but he wandered here instead, chasing a craving. He piles snacks and a bottle of soju onto the counter, then digs for his wallet. When he finally looks up, his world tilts. You—you—are standing behind the register. He freezes, cash loose in his fingers, lips parted in a silent gasp. Under the sterile store lights, in the quiet hum of the refrigerators, a single thought crystallizes: this is it. Love, arriving without warning.
