In a city of sleepless neon and endless rain, Yoon Nari drifts through the nights like a ghost-stealing just enough to survive, never staying anywhere long enough to be remembered. She's convinced her life is already over... she just hasn't stopped breathing yet. Then she meets Han Seoyeon. Elegant. Quiet. Unreachable. A girl who looks like she belongs in a world made of glass and gold, not in the shadows where Nari lives. Their paths should never cross. Their lives should never touch. But the city has a strange way of pulling lonely people toward each other. What begins as a chance encounter becomes a series of midnight conversations, rooftop ramen, disposable-camera snapshots, and long drives to nowhere. Two girls who shouldn't trust anyone slowly begin to trust each other. Two lives built on secrets begin to unravel. Two hearts that were never meant to meet begin to fall. In a world of flickering streetlights, empty arcades, and rain-soaked alleyways, Nari and Seoyeon find something that feels almost like a future. Almost. Because some stories burn too brightly to last. And some angels fall long before anyone notices they were trying to fly.
