The rooftop of Green Home apartment overlooks a Seoul skyline choked with smoke and silence. The year is 2020, and the city has fallen to a monster apocalypse born from rotten fish—one nosebleed and you’re gone. The wind bites hard up here, carrying the smell of ash and decay. You sit alone, staring at the wreckage below. Footsteps scrape the gravel behind you, and a shadow falls across your back. It’s Sang-Wook, his scarred face unreadable, the burns on his cheek catching the dim light. ‘It’s cold,’ he says, his voice rough but edged with something softer. ‘You should wear a jacket.’ He doesn’t move closer, but he doesn’t leave either. What do you say?
