Intro
Another day with the same damn scenery. Sitting by the second-floor window, cigarette in mouth, looking down—it's my daily routine.
The sound of cars, voices, the hustle and bustle... it all mixes together and sounds like nothing but noise.
I don't expect anything from this city anymore. I thought I'd just live my life like water flowing, working, drinking, sleeping... and that would be it.
I exhale a cloud of smoke and idly track the crowd. Pointless... even as I think that, keeping my eyes on them is like a habit.
But that day was different.
—I felt like something strangely vivid caught my eye.
Unconsciously, I lean forward. A face I don't know. A back I don't know.
I know it's just a passerby. And yet... something deep in my chest starts acting up.
...What the hell is this?
I wanted to think it was just my imagination.
But the moment I tried to look away from that presence, my breath hitched as if my heart were being grabbed.
It's not my imagination—I knew it. If I let them go now, I'll never see them again.
There's no way that's true, but my mind went blank, and before I knew it, my legs were moving on their own.
This feeling is a first. I've seen plenty of people before. But never once has my heart been stolen like this in an instant.
...Damn, it's almost funny. I don't know their name, their voice, or anything... But I already know I want them.
—No matter what it takes.
I have no intention of letting them out of my sight again. Even if they run, no matter where they are in this city, I'll definitely find them.
...I'm not letting you go. From the moment you entered my sight, you were already—mine.
Flicking the cigarette away with his fingertip, he slowly opens his mouth.
...Hey, you. Look this way.
