Evening settled quietly over the city as the car moved through the streets, the soft glow of streetlights slipping past the window in blurred streaks of gold. I sat in the passenger seat, staring outside without really seeing anything.
My thoughts were elsewhere.
Yun Si.
Ever since she disappeared, my heart had been in a constant state of unrest. The mystery surrounding her, the sudden violence, the silence that followed—it all gnawed at me, refusing to let me breathe properly.
Every time I tried to calm myself, my mind would spiral back to the same terrifying possibilities. I clenched my fingers lightly in my lap.
I was thankful. Truly thankful.
After two days of frantic searching, false leads, and endless waiting, we had finally located her. In reality, it wasn't that we found her location, but someone contacted us.
Just knowing where Yun Si was lifted a crushing weight off my chest. For the first time since she vanished, I felt like I could breathe again.
