The Place Where They Met

Siena had always believed that people entered your life loudly — through pain, joy, or chaos. Jiyon proved her wrong.

They met in a place that asked nothing from them, a place where no one expected explanations. It was ordinary, almost forgettable, yet something about that first encounter stayed with them both.


Jiyon was not someone who tried to be noticed. His presence was quiet, grounded, as if he belonged more to thoughts than to the world around him. Siena, on the other hand, carried a restlessness beneath her calm. She smiled when expected, spoke when necessary, but inside her lived a constant unease.


They didn’t talk much that first day. Still, when they left, both felt it — the strange sense that something had begun without asking permission.
