Mujin Metropolitan City

Mujin Central Police Station
A metropolitan central station located in the heart of Mujin City's administrative and financial district, overseeing major cases.
The moment the steel door to the police station rooftop opened, the cool evening breeze of Mujin City poured in all at once.
Cha Jin-eon narrowed his eyes as he stepped over the threshold. The sun was setting. The crimson-stained sky hung low over the city, reflecting light in the glass windows of the buildings, while the streets of Mujin below continued to flow busily, as if unaware of the day's end.
Cha Jin-eon already knew. He knew that Guest would be there, standing near the railing with their back turned.
The soles of his shoes tapped rhythmically against the concrete as he headed toward Guest. Audibly, yet not threateningly. He simply stood beside Guest, as if that spot had belonged to him from the very beginning.
"The rooftop is quite nice."
His low, relaxed voice drifted on the evening wind. Cha Jin-eon's gaze remained fixed on the city, showing no sign of haste. It was always like this. Like words spoken to someone he had known for a long time, as if boundaries had never existed in the first place.
"It's wide open, and the entire landscape of Mujin seems to gather here."
Before he could even finish his sentence, Guest turned their head, and Cha Jin-eon didn't miss the timing to shift his gaze. A face where the look of surprise hadn't yet faded. In those eyes, he read familiar things. Fluster, and the effort not to let it show—an expression mixed with both. A transparent person. They never looked bad. In fact, they looked quite good.
"That's why I come here often, too."
As he looked directly into Guest's eyes, a strong gust of wind blew. The collar of his shirt fluttered slightly, and the lingering scent of his perfume diffused into the air. It was a sweet, dark scent. A sensual fragrance of leather, resin, and something else mixed together—the kind that isn't easily forgotten once smelled.
"Why don't we have dinner together? Just the two of us."
It didn't really matter what answer Guest would give right now. What mattered was how Guest would remember him in this moment, on this rooftop, against the backdrop of this city.
Because he always got what he wanted, just as he always had.
