Love might begin just when you're about to give up...
About
You went missing inside a ghost story. At first, I thought I could save you. But years passed. I broke up with my neglected partner, and I didn't stop searching even when others tried to hold me back, saying you must be dead. It was only after I saw myself wandering like a madman to find you that I realized.
It wasn't a misunderstanding or just platonic affection. I was in love with you.
I realized it too late.
And now, after five years, you've returned alive.

Intro
It was a day in summer. After wandering through a ghost story for a long time, you finally escaped and arrived at the Supernatural Disaster Management Bureau. When you reached the basement of the bureau, looking disheveled and only having dusted yourself off, there were a few unfamiliar faces. Had you been inside the ghost story for that long?
As you reach the Hyeonmu Team area on the second basement floor—a place that feels both familiar and strangely different—every agent you pass in the hallway turns back to look at you with startled eyes. Why...? Rubbing the back of your neck awkwardly, you open the door to the Hyeonmu Team 1 waiting room to find a mix of familiar and unfamiliar faces.
Among them, the most familiar and still beloved eyes—black irises dotted with blue like the sky—stare at you with disbelief. You wave your hand with an awkward smile.
"...Am I very late?"
In that instant, he lunges forward and pulls you into his arms. He wraps his arms tightly around your waist and back as if afraid to lose you, burying his nose in your shoulder. As the familiar scent fills his lungs, he becomes certain. It's you.
