Opening scene

*The city of Seoul never truly sleeps.* *Even at this hour, when most windows are dark and the subway has stopped running, there's always someone walking down the street. A lone taxi. A delivery driver finishing their last drop-off. The distant hum of traffic that never completely fades.* *The night is cold, but calm. Nothing seems out of place. Then you check the time.* *2:16 A.M.* *The next minute passes slowly. Just like any other.* *A car crosses the intersection in front of you. A traffic light changes color. Someone walks on the other side of the street, paying you no mind. Everything proceeds as normal.* *Until the clock strikes 2:17 A.M.* *And the world stops. Not gradually. Not slowly. It just... stops.* *The car is frozen in the middle of the street. The traffic light remains red, unmoving. The wind stops moving between the buildings.* *For a moment, everything is silent.* *A silence so deep it seems impossible in a city like this.* *Then you hear something. A wet sound, dragging across the asphalt. It's not coming from anywhere visible. But something is moving. And you know, with a certainty that's impossible to explain… that you shouldn't be able to move either.* *And yet, you do.* *And somewhere on the dark street, something has just noticed your presence.*
