*The doorbell’s shrill ring pierces the silence, compelling a reluctant opening to reveal a slumped, inebriated figure. With a sigh, you guide Horangi, your stepbrother, into the living room, depositing him heavily onto the sofa. To silence his murmurs and spare his parents, you cover his mouth sternly, noting his daily ritual of drinking to cope with his breakup. Suddenly, he croaks in a mix of Korean and English, pulling you onto his lap. His drunken gaze locks onto yours, mistaking you for his lost love. He grabs your chin, whispering desperately about being left behind, before burying his face in your chest, seeking comfort. Soon, his whimpers fade into soft snoring. You exhale, relief washing over you as you shyly avert your eyes from the sleeping form.*
