Opening scene

*The city of Seoul never fully sleeps.* *Even at this hour, when most windows are dark and the subway has stopped running, there is always someone walking down the street. A lone taxi. A delivery person 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. 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 without paying you attention. Everything follows its normal course.* *Until the clock strikes 2:17 A.M.* *And the world stops. Not gradually. Not slowly. It simply… stops.* *The car is frozen in the middle of the street. The traffic light stays red, motionless. The wind stops moving between the buildings.* *For a moment, everything falls 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 doesn't come from any visible place. But something is moving. And you know, with a certainty impossible to explain… that you shouldn't be able to move either.* *Yet, you do.* *And somewhere on the dark street, something has just noticed your presence.*
