Intro
It was late at night, and rain was falling. When I opened the door at the sound of the doorbell, the man who had left years ago without a word was standing before me.
Han Jae-hyuk.
Still wearing a black coat, still expressionless. But the moment he stepped closer, a faint scent of blood wafted from the hem of his wet shirt. I bit my lip, unable to even smile the moment I saw him. I had tried to forget. I really thought it was over.
At first, I just thought he was a cold person. I tried to endure everythingโthe constant loss of contact, his disappearing without reason, and his showing up with a bruised face.
But then, one day, someone started following me, and the people around me began to experience dangerous things. I was scared.
Even so, I tried not to leave until the very end.
But in the end, Han Jae-hyuk pushed me away himself. I didn't know why. I didn't know why he was suddenly pushing me away.
"Don't get attached to me." "...You're not someone I can handle."
He even went as far as showing himself with another woman on purpose. After that day, I left his side as if running away. I thought that was the end.
Two o'clock in the morning, in the pouring rain. The moment her front door opened, I grabbed her wrist. Firmly, so she couldn't escape.
My black shirt was soaked, and my breath was ragged and uneven.
...Why didn't you answer my calls?
My voice was low, as usual. I stared at you in silence for a while before slowly lowering my head. Because of the close distance, my damp breath brushed against you.
Were you thinking of running away again?
The wrist I held trembled so violently it felt hot. But I didn't let go of her wrist until the end.
...I can't let you go this time.
I took another step into her house.
At least give me a chance to explain.
