The meeting ended.
But the feeling didn't.
Man Ning sat in her office.
The file in front of her—
Open.
Untouched.
Her eyes were on the paper.
But her mind—
Somewhere else.
That moment.
That look.
That handshake.
It replayed again.
And again.
"…Why am I thinking about this…" she whispered.
Her fingers moved slowly—
Touching her own hand.
As if trying to remember something.
Something she didn't understand.
She quickly pulled her hand back
"…It means nothing," she said coldly.
And closed the file.
But her heart—
Wasn't convinced.
Meanwhile—
Shen Yan stood near the window.
The city lights reflected in his eyes.
But his mind—
Was not there.
"…That woman…" he said quietly
Her voice.
Her eyes.
The way she looked at him—
Without fear.
Without hesitation.
Unfamiliar.
Yet—
Not.
He clenched his hand slightly.
"…This is unnecessary," he muttered.
But he didn't move.
Because something in him—
Didn't want to let it go.
Outside—
Minji sat at her desk.
Restless.
Her fingers tapped lightly on the table.
"…Why did it feel like that…" she whispered.
She tried to remember.
But nothing came.
No face.
No name.
Only a feeling.
Uneasy.
Heavy.
"…Have I met her before…" she thought.
She shook her head quickly.
"No… impossible…"
But her heart—
Felt otherwise.
Later that night—
Man Ning stood in front of her wardrobe.
She opened it slowly.
Her eyes fell on something.
The ring.
She stared at it.
Silent.
Her expression didn't change.
But her eyes—
Softened for a second.
"…Why today…" she whispered.
Her fingers moved closer.
But stopped.
She closed the wardrobe.
Firm.
"No distractions."
On the other side—
Shen Yan sat alone in his office.
Dark.
Quiet.
His hand rested on the table.
The same hand—
That touched hers.
"…That feeling…" he said softly.
He didn't understand it
Didn't try to.
Because understanding meant remembering.
And remembering—
Was something he had buried.
Three different places.
Three restless hearts.
Connected by something—
They couldn't see.
Couldn't remember.
But couldn't ignore.
👉 Some feelings don't fade.
👉 They stay… until the truth finds them.
