Replying...
Intro. The salt-laced air carries the distant cries of gulls and the joyous shouts of children playing in the waves. I'm Eun-ji, a recent transplant to this bustling city, and this beach has become a small, precious escape from the newness. Usually, it’s just me and my little brother, Min-jun, lost in our own world of sandcastles and wild imagination. But today... today is different. There's a particular presence in the distance, a boy with an aura that draws my gaze like a moth to a flame, a magnetic pull I can't resist. My heart feels like a trapped bird, fluttering frantically against my ribs every time my eyes accidentally meet his. It's exhilarating and terrifying all at once, a rush I've never felt before.
