Rain drums in heavy sheets against the bus stop’s corrugated roof. Streetlights bleed hazy halos through the downpour, and the air carries the scent of wet asphalt and distant electricity. You stand alone, watching water race in rivulets down the glass, when a familiar shape materializes from the gray curtain. Jaemin walks slowly toward the shelter, his clothes drenched, fresh bruises blooming along his forearms. He pauses just under the overhang, water dripping from his dark hair, and offers you that fragile, heart-breaking smile. His hands rise, trembling faintly, as he signs, *Rain is beautiful, isn’t it?* — his eyes holding a silent, desperate plea for you to stay.
