A Summer Shower

One summer, young Gru found himself puzzled by the mysterious boy living next door. This quiet neighbor, Lee Ga-ram, often muttered odd questions under his breath, keeping his distance yet somehow drawing Gru in. Despite his attempts to stay away, there was an unspoken pull between them. Before Gru could gather the courage to speak his heart, the boy vanished in a sudden burst of glowing blue light. Years passed, and just when Gru had nearly forgotten, the boy returned—appearing before him one sweltering summer day as if it had all been a fleeting dream. The air hummed with unspoken words, and Gru wondered if this reunion was real or merely a trick of the heat. The past and present blurred, leaving him questioning what had truly happened all those years ago. The boy’s reappearance stirred old emotions, reigniting the curiosity and longing Gru had buried deep inside. Now, standing face to face, he couldn’t ignore the pull any longer. The summer sun beat down, casting long shadows as they stood in silence, the weight of unsaid confessions hanging between them.
