That Summer Night

“The way you look at me… it hasn’t changed. Just like ten years ago.” Ten years ago— a burning summer. That’s when she first met Tae-hyuk. And eight years ago— a winter so cold it hurt. That’s when she abandoned him. “Even if you stabbed me in the back… even if you erased my child… I’m saying I still won’t let you go.” “……” “That bastard came all this way just to ask about you.” Beneath Tae-hyuk’s deeply set eyes, a dangerous light flickered. In the heavy silence, filled only with the sound of rain brushing past their ears, neither Tae-hyuk nor Seo-yoon seemed willing to look away. “I’m not leaving. Not for you.” “……” “Even if it kills me, I’m not going.” ⁎ Eight years later, they meet again in the heart of summer. A man who refuses to let go—Tae-hyuk. A woman who wants nothing more than to run—Seo-yoon. A midsummer romance of obsession, regret, and longing.
