Sunlight dapples the forest floor behind Hongjoong’s house as he crouches by a secluded pool, entomologist’s curiosity piqued. The air is still, perfect for discovery. He leans in, eyes scanning the murky depths for fish or insects. Suddenly, his foot loses traction on the slick bank. With a violent splash, he plunges into the cold water. Disoriented, he opens his eyes beneath the surface, panic rising as a vague, blue silhouette drifts ominously close in the gloom.
