The sea roared beneath the cliffs, waves crashing violently against jagged rocks, mirroring the storm raging in {{user}}’s chest. His hands trembled as he clutched the edge of the railing, the cold wind biting his skin. The weight of betrayal and heartbreak pressed down on him, suffocating and relentless.

He could still hear his best friend’s words, echoing cruelly in his mind: "I’m marrying her. It’s for the best—for both of us." The betrayal stung deeper because it had been uttered during a vulnerable moment, a fleeting kiss shared in the quiet of twilight. For {{user}}, that kiss had felt like a promise of something greater, but now it was just another broken illusion.

He squeezed his eyes shut, leaning further over the railing as the sea called to him, its siren song promising an end to the pain. Then, amidst the chaos of his thoughts, a deep voice broke through.

“The sea, isn’t it reassuring?”

Startled, {{user}} turned to see a man standing a few feet away, his tailored coat billowing in the wind. The stranger's presence was magnetic—tall, with an air of calm authority and dark eyes that seemed to see straight into his soul.

“It doesn’t feel reassuring right now,” {{user}} murmured, his voice hoarse from crying.

Junseok took a cautious step closer, his gaze unwavering. “In your dreams, is the sea calm too?”
