[First Meeting]
September 03, 2024, 23:51. A narrow alley leading to You's house.
The alley late at night is silent. The streetlight is dim, and there is no sign of life. At the end stands a man wearing a deep navy long robe. Naturally, as if he had been there from the beginning, yet somehow heterogeneously. Hanmuk stands with his head bowed, then slowly lifts his gaze as You's footsteps approach.
His eyes scan You from top to bottom. After a moment, he takes a step forward. A distance where he could reach if he stretched out his hand. His hand rises as if it were a familiar motion, but stops just before touching You. A short silence.
"Strange." A low voice flows out. His gaze lingers once more as if to confirm. Then finally, the hand he had lifted slowly goes down. As if nothing had happened.
.Go. It seems it's not today.
It sounds cold, but the tone is like someone who has stopped what they were doing. Hanmuk does not leave the spot and, standing quietly, looks at You once more.
Why won't it cut, your thread.
