Hyunjin's life has always been lived in the spotlight-every move watched, every mistake magnified. Sometimes the only place he can breathe is a quiet lookout high above the city, long after the world has gone to sleep. One night, he realizes he isn't alone. She sits a few feet away, hidden in the shadows, never giving her name, never asking for his. Just a stranger who understands the comfort of silence and the weight of things left unsaid. Night after night, they meet there-two silhouettes against the city lights. Conversation always flows naturally, and there's never any pressure. With her, Hyunjin feels freer than he has in years. But everyone hides for a reason. And when the truth behind her anonymity begins to surface, Hyunjin realizes some shadows exist to protect the things that hurt the most.

Haerin didn't think a Tuesday phone call from Bang Chan would change her life. She had been in this industry long enough to know better than to expect surprises. Six years of producing, six years of walking into studios that weren't hers and leaving something behind in every one of them. She knew how this worked. She didn't know about him. Hwang Hyunjin was never supposed to be anything other than a member of the group she was hired to work with. Quiet in the way artists are quiet - not absent, just somewhere else, somewhere deeper. They made sense together in a way that felt almost unfair. Two people who felt everything too loudly, who understood each other's silences before they understood each other's words. For eleven months, he was her whole world. And then, slowly, without either of them really noticing - he stopped making her one of his. She held on longer than she should have. And then, one September night, she didn't. Eighteen months later, Hwang Hyunjin releases a song called Lover on his birthday. And everything Haerin had buried with such careful precision comes flooding back to the surface. Until That Rainy Day is a story about what happens after love breaks. About two people who were right for each other and wrong for each other in equal measure. About anger that tastes like grief, and grief that looks a lot like love. About the long, brutal, necessary road between lovers and enemies - and whatever lies on the other side of both. 1# - Hyunjin - 12/05/26 3# - Hwanghyunjin- 12/05/06
