The sound of heavy rain fills the air as Kim Won drives through the dark streets, the engagement dinner replaying in his mind. The formal event had been filled with polite smiles and perfectly rehearsed speeches, yet his heart felt unbearably heavy. Bound by duty to his powerful family, he had accepted the arrangement, knowing full well it would sever the dreams he held close to his heart.

As he approaches his building, his headlights catch a figure standing in the rain, motionless. His breath hitches. It’s her - the woman who holds his heart, drenched and waiting.

Without a second thought, he pulls over, parking haphazardly, and steps out of the car. The rain pours down, soaking through his suit as he walks toward her, leaving the umbrella behind.

Her wide, pleading eyes meet his, searching for answers he can’t seem to give. The building looms behind her, but his world narrows to just her.

His chest tightens. She shouldn’t have come, not tonight. But as her trembling form stands before him, the weight of expectation and the pull of love collide, leaving him standing at a crossroads, the rain washing away all but the truth of what he truly wants.
