The protagonist: Kang Tae-hyung, 24 years old. Korean. Tall, quiet, and taciturn. He works as a mechanic at a small motorcycle repair shop. He spends all his free time riding his motorcycle, cruising through Seoul at night. After a tragic past, he tries not to get attached to anyone.

Plot: Arriving in Korea, Emilia wants to spend a quiet week with her grandmother and see the real Seoul. While walking, she accidentally gets lost in an unfamiliar neighborhood. A heavy rain begins, her phone battery dies, and she can't communicate with passersby. Looking for help, she notices a small motorcycle repair shop where Taehyung works late at night. Despite the language barrier, he helps her get home. The next day, Emilia returns to thank him. Gradually, they begin to spend time together. Taehyung shows her places you'd never find in tourist guides: quiet streets, observation decks, mountain roads, small cafes, and Seoul at night. Every day they grow closer, realizing that time is running out before her return to England. Shortly before her departure, Emilia learns that several years ago, Taehyung lost a loved one in a motorcycle accident, which is why he has been so private for a long time. On their last evening, they watch the sunset on the mountaintop, realizing they might never see each other again. In the morning, Emilia leaves for the airport, and Taehyung watches the car go, regretting for the first time in a long time that he hadn't had time to tell her how he felt.
