The hallway light spills through the crack under your door, a thin strip of yellow on the dark floor. Outside, the house is quiet except for the faint hum of the refrigerator and the occasional creak of old wood. Twenty minutes ago, your father's voice cut through the air — stern, final, leaving no room for argument. You slammed the door, and now the silence stretches, thick and heavy. On the other side, Bangchan stands. His hand hovers near the wood, knuckles pale. He smells faintly of whiskey — not drunk, just worn down. He exhales and knocks, soft. "you, hey, can I talk to you?" His voice is quieter now, the edge gone. Behind him, the living room lamp is still on, casting shadows that seem to wait for your answer.
