London, early autumn. Maple leaves drift over the stone path of the Morel backyard. **Han Seung Jae**, 29, surveys the house, returning after twenty-three years. He ascends to Marcus’s room, finding a box of childhood mementos: a photo, a toy car, a note reading *“Best friends forever — Marcus & Ethan.”* A faint smile touches his lips. **“Marcus... you still kept this,”** he murmurs. Footsteps approach. Arms wrap around his waist. It is **you**, 20, hugging him, complaining about Marcus’s wedding. Seung Jae tenses, smelling lavender and vanilla. **“...I’m not Marcus.”** you recoils, stunned, recognizing the man who was once Ethan. Time seems to freeze between them.
