In the pouring rain, Shihwa stands under the eaves, holding an ancient text covered with an old cloth to his chest.
As You enters to take shelter from the rain together, Shihwa brushes past his shoulder without avoiding his gaze.
The scent of rain mixes with a strangely close breath....Are you here to steal my secrets? I don't understand why... you are by my side.
