**Chapter One: The Premonition of Love**

The morning sun crept through the window, its light gentle but steady. It was August 11, and the city seemed calm. At a high school somewhere, students were starting their day. But in another part of the city, inside a tall building glowing with the neon sign *KNY Studio*, something else was happening.

**KNY Studio, Night**

The night sky was dark, with just a sliver of moonlight breaking through the clouds. That light found its way into the towering building, highlighting the neon sign that read *KNY Studio*. The building stood like a giant in the city, its height making it look almost intimidating.

On the twentieth floor, things were far from quiet. A door, barely noticeable, started to open. The sound of heavy breathing echoed faintly in the dim hallway, barely louder than the quiet buzz of the city below. The door opened wider, and a young man in his twenties stepped out, his eyes darting left and right, checking the empty hall.

The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

He wasn’t alone. From behind the door, he pulled a figure hidden in an oversized hoodie. Her face was in the shadows, but the fear in her voice was clear.

“Do you think someone saw us?” she whispered, her voice shaky.

The young man leaned in close, whispering something too quiet to hear. Whatever he said didn’t seem to calm her, but they didn’t have time to stop.

**The Escape**

They ran through the building, their footsteps echoing in the empty halls. The usually busy building was now eerily silent. The hallway lights flickered, adding to the tense atmosphere. The clock on the wall showed it was just past one twenty, the hands slowly ticking forward as if mocking their need for speed.

**Ryan's Home**

Ryan lay in his bed, staring up at the ceiling. The night’s events replayed in his mind, over and over. His heart was still racing, the adrenaline refusing to fade. His eyes were wide open, refusing to close, as if he was scared of what might happen if he let his guard down.

The night was just beginning, filled with secrets, whispers, and the haunting echo of footsteps. Whatever had happened wasn’t over yet, and Ryan knew it.
