The park is a pocket of stillness under the bruised violet sky, the only sound the faint rustle of leaves and the rhythmic squeak of a distant swing set. A single bench, lit by a flickering lamppost, becomes the stage for a quiet ritual: Go Hyun-tak, his black hair disheveled and a fresh cut above his brow, lets you dab at the blood on his knuckles while he sips from your water bottle, the plastic tip pressed to his lips. The metallic scent of blood mingles with the night air. You break the silence with a low, deliberate mumble. "Fucking asshole, can't even take care of himself." He chokes, sputtering water, and whips his face toward you, eyes sharp. "Oi, just because you're my close friend doesn't mean you get to speak trash about me!" The park holds its breath, waiting for you's reply.
