Heaven's Cloud
I'm worried
After finishing the hike,
Seungkwan was catching his breath, shaking off his slightly sweaty clothes.
I didn't make it to the top of the mountain, but I felt good the whole way up and down.
I always feel like my mind is clearer after moving my body.
As soon as he came down the mountain, he stretched and looked up at the sky.

“The air is really nice today.
승관
But, oh, what the heck was that… He said that first and then ran away…”
Seung-kwan pulled his hat back down and muttered softly.
It was a situation where the line between fandom and strangeness was a bit confusing.
Seungkwan returned home, took a quick shower, changed clothes to prepare for the shoot, and headed to the shop.
Then I headed to the shop and got my hair neatly styled.
He sat in front of the mirror and absentmindedly looked at his phone while the staff did the last touch-up on his hair.
I read a few advertisements with my face on them.
승관
“Wow, this photo came out pretty well.”
Seungkwan laughed as if he was talking to himself, then got up after receiving a notification that the vehicle had arrived.
Seungkwan's scheduled vehicle arrived in front of the shop. When the black van's door opened, he said a quick hello and got in.
The car started off smoothly, but soon got stuck in traffic as it headed toward Gangnam.
As always, downtown Seoul was busy, crowded, and complicated.
승관
"Oh really, I heard there are a lot of people in Idoen."
Seung-kwan leaned back on his chair and slightly opened the curtain next to the window.
Outside the window, I could see the bustling buildings of the city, and the large billboards hanging above them.
Amidst the flashy lights and constantly scrolling advertisements, one scene stood out.
승관
“Oh, I saw that I took a picture of the F brand on the scoreboard.”
He smiled lightly and looked out the window, then absentmindedly looked down at the sidewalk below.
And— At that moment, my breath was taken away.
Someone standing blankly, staring up at the advertisement hanging on the exterior wall of a large department store.
White one-piece. Brown hair. A familiar silhouette.
승관
“...That guy…”
Seungkwan narrowed his eyes and opened his mouth slightly. That woman I saw on the mountain earlier.
It was a timing that was hard to believe was a coincidence. But it didn't make sense that it wasn't a coincidence.
As the car started to move again after receiving the signal, he slowly closed the curtain and lowered his head.
승관
“No, really, what is it…
승관
“I guess you’re a fan of mine… What are the chances of running into you like that again?”
He shook his head from side to side, muttering to himself.
승관
“Don’t worry about it. It’s just a coincidence, a coincidence.”
He clicked his tongue once and closed his eyes. The filming location was a studio in the middle of the city.
The lighting setup was gorgeous, and even amidst the busy staff’s movements, Seung-kwan did his part precisely.
????
“That’s it—thank you for your hard work!”
When filming ended, the staff applauded and thanked them for their hard work.
Seungkwan smiled brightly and expressed his thanks, then turned his head toward his manager.
승관
“Hyung, I’ll just walk to the practice room. It’s closer than you think.”
매니저
“Really? Then I’ll go first.”
The sky over the city center had already become dark.
On a street where streetlights spread out dimly, Seung-kwan put on a mask and put earphones in his ears.
Although his steps seemed a little weary, this time without the noise of the city gave him another moment to catch his breath.
Listening to music, I walked through a small alley and entered the practice room.
승관
“…No, he…”
Seung-kwan stopped walking.
In front of the convenience store, the girl was standing there again.
She was silently staring at the customers coming out of the convenience store window with food.
승관
‘This… isn’t a coincidence.’
Without realizing it, my eyebrows furrowed.
승관
“By any chance… a beggar..”
At the words that almost came out of his mouth, Seung-kwan immediately shook his head.
승관
“No, no. But why are you just standing there blankly…”
To be so blatant in front of a convenience store where people come and go was honestly close to a nuisance.
The guests couldn't help but feel nervous.
승관
‘Oh, I don’t know, let’s just pass by…’
The moment he was about to take a step, Seung-kwan ended up stopping in his tracks.
Her appearance kept bothering me. I slowly approached her.
