The gossip hadn't stopped.
Even after Nari held Joon's hand in front of the school, people whispered louder.
So he did what he always does—
He broke rules.
10:42 PM – Nari's Window
She opened it in shock.
Joon stood outside in the dark, helmet in hand.
"Get your jacket."
"You're insane."
"Only for you."
She didn't argue. Just grabbed her hoodie and climbed out.
20 Minutes Later – Seoul Hillside
He drove them to a quiet hilltop.
No people. No lights. Just stars.
They sat on a bench overlooking the city.
She breathed in the cold air.
Freedom. Silence. Him.
"Why here?" she asked.
"Because the sky doesn't judge."
She turned to him.
"Do you regret it?"
He looked at her. Eyes soft.
"No. I regret waiting so long."
He took her hand. Held it like it was fragile.
"If you ever want to run away…" he whispered,
"I'll be the one driving the bike. No questions."
She laughed—then leaned her head on his shoulder.
They didn't kiss.
They didn't say "I love you."
But in the quiet,
In the stars,
They said everything.
