The sky was painted in shades of orange and soft pink as the sun began to lower over Jeju's peaceful coastline. The breeze was light, and the waves rolled gently over the shore, whispering against the sand like a lullaby. Na-ri walked silently beside Jin Woo, the sea brushing against their bare feet, leaving faint trails of foam that vanished with each retreat. Neither of them said a word for a while, simply listening to the hush of the ocean.
Na-ri's fingers were just a breath away from Jin Woo's, her eyes fixed on the water like it held answers she'd been searching for her entire life. The sea always had a way of pulling her in—not just her gaze, but her thoughts too. Jin Woo glanced at her quietly. She looked distant, as if her mind was far from this peaceful shore.
"Na-ri," he said softly. "Are you okay?"
She blinked slowly and looked up at him. "Mm?"
"You've been quiet," he said. "You're not cold, are you?"
