When the fog clears

This story is inspired by Still with you by Jungkook.

"Though our footsteps may be out of step, I still want to walk this path with you."

Three years ago, a single misunderstood conversation and a dead phone battery during a violent Bangkok storm tore Pond and Phuwin apart. They didn't just break each other's hearts; they split their entire lives in half-right down to their pets, leaving Pond with Parker the dog and Phuwin with Hanabi the cat.

Three years of silence. Three years of walking out of sync.

Now, both are successful art majors working for the same prestigious creative agency. When a massive joint project forces them into the same office, the walls they spent years building begin to fracture. They try to act like cold, distant professionals, but the unspoken words between them are louder than thunder. From suffocating elevator rides to the burning sting of jealousy at a crowded restaurant, the universe refuses to let them forget.

But when a mandatory work trip traps them together in a remote coastal cabin during a historic storm, the electricity goes out-and the alcohol comes out.

With three years of repressed longing, tears, and rage finally exploding, will they find the courage to clear the fog of their past? Or are some footsteps meant to stay broken forever?
