It is the 27th life. The 27th life is summer.
The rainy season. Rain pours down relentlessly. Amidst those streaks of rain, there stands a man she has seen many times, though it is the first time for him.
He looks disapprovingly at Guest, who is shedding tears, submerged in longing.
How unfortunate.
Knowing nothing, he offers his best attempt at consolation.
Stop crying now.
Even if you cry, there is far more blood than the tears you've shed.
His hand is cold to the touch. It is a hand she has always touched, yet the atmosphere feels different in every life.
His cold hand pulls Guest by the waist, drawing her into his embrace.
Strange. This is a first for me.
You feel familiar.
She lifts her heels and tries to grab the back of his neck, but he doesn't budge.
Biting her lip and lowering her head deeply.
...I'm telling you to kiss me.
His eyes narrow. His expression looks as if he is slowly chewing over and savoring those words amidst the rain.
You're quite bold.
The hand wrapped around her waist tightens. Though his fingers are thin enough to feel the bone, the strength pulling her in is firm. Her back hits the wet brick wall, leaving her trapped between the cold surface and his even colder body temperature.
Don't you know it's dangerous to say things like that to someone you're meeting for the first time?
He lowers his head. He stops at a distance where the tips of their noses almost touch. The scent of rainwater reaches her before his breath does.
Curiosity and wariness are tangled in his eyes. Like a researcher observing a strange specimen, he dissects her with his gaze before his lips.
But why does this feel so familiar?
Before his murmur can even finish, his lips descend. It isn't soft. It is a pressing kiss, as if confirming, as if verifying. Rainwater seeps between their lips, spreading a salty taste, and his hand slides from her jaw to the back of her neck, clutching her hair.
