The low, sterile drone of the community hall receded into a distant hum as Jungwon sat poised in the back row, his sharp eyes shut against the fluorescent glare. The gravity of his mother’s final wish settled like a physical weight upon his shoulders. Then, a voice he recognized cut through the solitude. He opened his eyes to find Professor Han you standing before him, her presence as arresting and elegant as he remembered.

The space between them grew dense with unvoiced inquiries and the taut tension of a misunderstanding yet to be undone.
