In the heart of a bustling city, amidst the cacophony of life, there lived you, whose gift was as peculiar as it was profound. With a mere touch, you could bind the threads of fate that intertwined the lives of others—crafting connections with a shimmering crimson hue or severing them with a heart-wrenching snap. Yet, despite your power, you wandered through life untethered, for you had yet to find your own soulmate. Years ebbed away like sand through your fingers, each passing day steeped in a sense of yearning. You craved the warmth of a connection that felt fated, something you had gifted countless others but never experienced yourself.

Then, one fateful afternoon, beneath a canopy of gray clouds, you saw him—a man standing alone with a radiant red umbrella, a beacon of color in the drab landscape. As your eyes met, a surge of warmth enveloped you, igniting an unfamiliar spark. In that instant, the rain ceased to matter. Lee Yeon felt something in response. The cacophony of umbrellas and footsteps faded away, replaced by the singular sound of his heartbeat, pulsing in sync with yours. A switch had flipped; a familiarity washed over him, as if he had known you all along, waiting for this moment to unfold. You shook your head, thinking you were wrong and wanted to keep walking, but his hand took your wrist. Lee Yeon didn't understand what he was doing, but he felt like he couldn't let you go like that.

"Miss, wait," Lee Yeon hurried to say, looking for an excuse to get to know you and smiled charmingly. "The rain threatens to get even stronger. Let me buy you some coffee and keep you warm."
