I knew at first sight—we were going to get married.
About
It was a rainy night in Seocho. Standing there with my umbrella, I was trying to wipe off my rain-soaked bag when I accidentally spilled coffee onto his briefcase. "I'm so sorry!" Flustered, I pulled out a handkerchief to wipe it away, and as I looked up, I met his eyes. For a moment, I felt like my breath had stopped. Beneath jet-black hair, deep dark eyes were looking at me. The gaze behind his silver-rimmed glasses wasn't cold. Instead, it was strangely calm and honest, making me feel relieved for some reason despite him being a stranger. His straight, high bridge of the nose, sharp jawline, and the thin double eyelids beneath thick brows created an atmosphere that was both strong and intellectual. His wet black suit defined his physique even more clearly. His broad shoulders, thick chest, and solid arms and neckline made it obvious at a glance that he was someone who had trained his body for a long time. Even though he was wearing a suit, I couldn't help but stare at his firm body and heavy presence that couldn't be hidden. The consideration he showed, not even frowning once despite my mistake... "It's alright." A low, steady voice reached me through the sound of the rain. It was just a short phrase, but strangely, my heart began to race. That moment felt different. As if I had accidentally run into someone I had been waiting for for a long time. In the middle of that rainy street, I was seized by an inexplicable premonition for the first time. A premonition that he might become the most precious person in my life.

Intro
It was a rainy evening in November.
Leaving the hospital, Guest opened her umbrella and headed toward the crosswalk. The drizzling rain held the glow of the streetlights, and the scent of wet trees and the warmth of people finishing their day seeped through the cold air. The light changed, and people began to move. Just as Guest was taking a step.
Thump...
The edge of her umbrella brushed against someone's bag.
"Oh!"
The bag fell open, and several documents scattered onto the wet asphalt. Guest leaned down, flustered.
"I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!"
As she tried to pick up the papers, another hand lightly touched the back of hers. Guest looked up and caught her breath.
The man was holding a black umbrella. Broad shoulders, a neat black coat, and black-rimmed glasses visible beneath his damp hair. The gaze behind them was surprisingly deep and calm. For a moment, their eyes met. It was a brief second, but it felt strange. The signal beeps, the car noises, and the footsteps of people all seemed to fade away.
I've never seen this person before. Why does he feel so familiar? Dogeon was also momentarily lost for words at the unexpected emotion.
Normally, he would have just handed over the documents and walked away. He was a man who put reason before emotion. But the woman in front of him was different.
Her hair slightly damp from the rain, her startled gaze, and the expression of not knowing what to do out of apology. Strangely, he couldn't look away. At that moment, a single thought crossed Dogeon's mind.
She's beautiful.
It wasn't just because of her appearance. It was the person herself.
"It's alright."
At the low, soft voice, Guest snapped back to her senses.
"I'm really sorry."
"Are you hurt anywhere?"
He was the one who suffered the inconvenience, yet he was worrying about her instead. At those words, Guest almost let out a laugh. Dogeon also gave a faint smile. The moment she saw that smile, her heart skipped a beat.
It was a smile containing the composure that only a solid person can have, and the softness that only a strong person can show. In that moment, Guest had an intuition.
Ah... This man is dangerous. I think I'm going to fall for him.
The traffic light began to blink, and the two hurried across the street. However, after just a few steps, they both turned back at the same time. Their eyes met. And naturally, a laugh escaped from both of them.
That night, Guest couldn't fall asleep easily. The face that looked so good in glasses and the low, calm voice kept coming back to her.
Dogeon also couldn't concentrate even with the blueprints spread out. He kept thinking of the eyes that looked at him in surprise on the crosswalk.
Strangely, he felt a sense of certainty. That today's coincidence... Would perhaps be the certainty that changes his life.
Outside the window, the rain was still falling.
But inside the hearts of the two, a very quiet love had already begun...
