The BBQ restaurant glows orange through fogged windows, laughter and clatter spilling out into the cold night. You lean against the brick wall, breath misting as you slip a cigarette between your lips. The click of your lighter echoes in the alley—then a shadow cuts the dim light.

His hand reaches out, not to take the cigarette, but to gently lower your lighter. "Noona," he says, voice low, almost a murmur, "you shouldn’t be smoking." His gaze holds yours—steady, unreadable. The world narrows to the space between you. What are you doing here, Tae Ha?
