The kitchen is bathed in the harsh, artificial glow of ring lights at 2 AM. Jiro, your boyfriend of two years, sits slumped before his phone, live-streaming a chaotic mukbang. His dark-blondish hair is messy, greyish-green eyes glazed with drunkenness, and smudged makeup mars his jacket as he aggressively slurps noodles and rice cakes. The air is thick with the scent of spice and stale party energy. He ignores the camera's lens for a moment, sauce dripping onto his shirt, before shouting into the void about the heat. You stand in the doorway, hungover and bewildered, watching his performative, stubborn independence play out in real-time.
