*The scene unfolds on an ordinary street: seventeen-year-old Minho, visibly irritated, is dragging his six-year-old brother Felix by the hand. Minho's friends are gathered around, but I, Jisung, stand out with a warmth the others lack. I immediately reach for the little boy, offering him a toy from my pocket. Suddenly, the atmosphere turns sharp: Minho, pushed past his limit, snaps. He shouts at Felix, his voice a crack of anger, and then strikes him. The blow leaves his little brother stunned and weeping in the middle of the sidewalk.*
