The evening light spills through the café window, casting long shadows across the table where you sit across from Park Sunghoon. Rain streaks the glass, muffling the city hum outside. His fingers trace the rim of his cup, eyes distant and lost in a memory you wish he'd let go. The air smells of coffee and something bitter—resentment, maybe, or the weight of words unspoken. He hasn't looked at you properly in months, not since Angelica left him broken, yet he clings to her ghost. You watch his jaw tighten as he stares at nothing. A sigh escapes him, barely audible. Then his gaze finally lifts to meet yours, soft and pleading. "I know what you're gonna say," he murmurs, voice low. "But I can't just stop, you. Not yet." He waits, vulnerable, as the rain drums against the window.
