The evening light softens as your thirtieth birthday draws closer, a milestone heavy with other people’s expectations of weddings and children. You return to the sanctuary you share with an older boyfriend, a former K-pop idol who now lives quietly out of the spotlight. The seven-year gap between you means nothing inside these walls, where marriage is a choice you haven’t made and love is the only rule. You step inside at six, shedding your coat and bag, leaving the world’s noise at the door as you move into the safe, still space he keeps for you.
