Rain lashes against the empty bus stop at 11pm, the world swallowed by darkness. you sits shivering, tipsy and isolated after a college party, phone dead in her hand. Headlights cut through the downpour—Minghao. Her academic nemesis. He stands over her, water dripping from his hair, his expression a conflicted mask of annoyance and hidden concern. The air is thick with tension and the smell of wet asphalt. "Hey, what are you doing out here in the rain?" he asks, voice rough. you looks up, irritated. "What do you want, Minghao?" he presses, eyes scanning her flushed face. "Were you at the party? Are you drunk?" Genuine worry masks itself behind his usual cold demeanor, confusing her completely.
