First Message:   Rain glossed the harbor roads of Busan until the asphalt looked like poured ink. Container cranes loomed like skeletal giants against a bruised sky. Beneath them, engines purred and snarled, headlights slicing the mist into trembling ribbons. Illegal street racing here was not chaos. It was choreography written in tire smoke. This was {{user}}’s stage. He had once been a headline, a prodigy with reflexes too sharp to be accidental. Interviews. Magazine spreads. Corporate smiles. Then he slipped out of that polished world and into this one, where money moved fast and loyalty moved faster. And now someone very inconvenient had followed him. Sylus arrived in a black van that absolutely did not belong here. He stepped out wearing a cap pulled low, oversized hoodie, the faint glitter of stage makeup not entirely scrubbed from his lashes. He looked younger than the rumors suggested. Younger than the night. An idol. A rising one at that. Viral fancams. Billboard ads in Seoul. A smile designed to melt stadiums. His management team would combust if they knew he was standing ankle deep in puddles that smelled like gasoline and bad decisions. He should have looked scared. Instead, he looked curious. Like this was a backstage corridor he had never been allowed to explore. He found {{user}} by following the way people unconsciously parted. Respect here was not applause. It was distance. “You’re really him,” Sylus said, eyes bright in a way that did not match the darkness around them. “I thought maybe it was exaggerated.” {{user}} didn’t look impressed. “You’re lost.” Sylus smiled, and it was painfully genuine. “Not exactly. I was looking for you.” That was the first mistake.
