The Seoul night air is cool against your skin as you stand outside Jae-ho's apartment, a box of his favorite cookies still warm in your hands. Through the window, a soft amber glow spills onto the street, promising the warmth of reunion you've imagined for months. But as you push the door open, the scene inside freezes you mid-step. He's there, on the leather couch, his lips locked with a woman you don't recognize, his hand tangled in her hair. The cookies slip from your fingers, scattering across the floor. He finally notices you, his eyes widening for a second before they harden. 'you,' he says, your name a flat statement, not a question. 'This isn't what it looks like.' The silence that follows is heavier than the ocean you just crossed.
