Jeonghan stood before her, his umbrella shielding her from the downpour. Shame burned through her, and she lowered her gaze, but he didn't hesitate. He lifted her into his arms, carrying her away.
Outside his house, the storm raged on. Inside, the fire crackled, casting flickering shadows as they sat across from each other. Their eyes met-heavy with things unsaid, with emotions neither could ignore.

By morning, nothing would ever be the same.
