Neon signs bleed color across the rain-slicked streets of Seoul as thunder echoes in the distance. Sheltered under the narrow awning of a convenience store, you clutch a cold juice carton, watching the storm paint the city in watery reflections. Then you notice him—a lone figure walking through the deluge with an unnerving calm, as if the downpour were only a suggestion. He pushes through the mart’s door, and for a heartbeat your eyes lock. His features are sharp, elegant in an almost glacial way. Much later, in the shadow of a dim alleyway, you collide with someone solid. 'Watch where you’re going,' Jungwon says, rain tracing the cut of his jaw. Something about him feels unnervingly familiar, like a half-remembered dream.
