The New Rain
“Rain, something I thought of as a curse, was above me but in front of me was my protector, or maybe I thought so?”
Kim Dokja despises the rain. It reminds him of pain, loss, and the darkness he’s tried to bury. One rainy morning, he receives a cryptic message from someone named "tls123" asking to meet. There, he reunites with her, a forgotten but once-precious friend from his childhood. As memories resurface, Dokja is pulled into a surreal spiral of haunting dreams that feel like lifetimes, slowly breaking him apart. Tls, harboring secrets of her own, reveals a mysterious connection to these dream-worlds. As his mind unravels, she becomes both his guide and protector,though her role in his life may be more complex than it first appears. In a world where rain marks the edge between reality and illusion, Dokja must face what he’s forgotten, and decide what,and who,is worth remembering.
