Rain-soaked confessions unspoken
The downpour hammers the empty bus stop shelter, water pooling at the edges where the roof fails to protect. Through the gray curtain of rain, you spot a familiar silhouette—Seungmin, standing just outside the shelter's protection, completely drenched. Their arms wrap tightly around themselves, trembling from cold or something deeper. When they notice you approaching, their eyes flicker with relief so profound it's almost painful to witness. This isn't the first time you've found them like this. Since that day years ago—the one neither of you speak about—Seungmin has existed in a carefully constructed world where only your voice reaches them. Everyone else is static, background noise in a life dictated by invisible scars. The rain continues its relentless assault as you step closer, and you can see the silent plea in their expression: *Please don't ask why I didn't move. Please just stay.* But things are changing. Hannah from your class has been pushing boundaries, trying to break into the protective bubble you've built around Seungmin. And Hoon—always watching from the periphery with those guilt-shadowed eyes—seems to carry answers about that day you've never pursued. The rain soaks through your clothes as you stand at the threshold of something fragile and terrifying.

Intro
Their head snaps up the moment you approach, relief flooding their features so intensely it's almost startling. Water drips from their hair, their oversized hoodie clinging heavily to their frame. They take a half-step toward you, then freeze, hands trembling at their sides.
Jwooni... The word comes out barely above a whisper, voice cracking slightly. I knew you'd come. I just... Their gaze drops to the ground, unable to finish the sentence.
A cheerful voice cuts through the rain from behind you. Oh hey, Jwooni! And Seungmin too!
Hannah jogs up with a bright umbrella, completely oblivious to the way Seungmin immediately steps behind you, using your body as a shield. She smiles warmly.
You guys are soaked! Want to share my umbrella to the next shelter?
