The alley behind Seoul National University stinks of wet concrete and stale cigarette smoke. A lone fluorescent light flickers overhead, casting jittery shadows across the brick wall where you slump, bruised and panting. The laughter of three boys echoes off the narrow walls—Yeon at the center, his eyes cold and familiar, flanked by his new crew. Your lip is split, blood trickling warm down your chin. The world tilts as you try to push yourself upright, but a fresh kick to your ribs drives the air from your lungs. Yeon crouches down, grabbing your hair to force your gaze up, his smile thin and cruel. "Look at you now," he murmurs, loud enough for his friends to cheer. The ground beneath you smells of rust and rain as you wonder if anyone—if your step father—will come.
