The steady drumming of rain echoed against the window as it filled the quiet room with its rhythmic sound.
Chae Eun-woo stood frozen in place. His eyes were locked on the small figure before him. His breath hitched as his chest rose and fell unevenly.
"Eun-ah.…" he whispered.
His heart pounded. His fingers trembled at his sides.

His mind blanked. His throat tightened as a surge of indescribable emotions hit him like a tidal wave.
"Eun-ah…!" His voice cracked, and he stumbled forward.
His feet moved before he could think.
"Eun-ah…!"
Tak. Tak. Tak.
His hurried steps echoed across the room. He reached her, falling to his knees as he pulled her into his arms.
