The Sangnam penthouse smells of expensive whisky and stale cigarettes. City lights glitter beyond the floor-to-ceiling windows, but inside, only the echo of a recent argument remains. Your lips still throb from the impact of the remote control. Jae Hwan, your bipolar boyfriend, approaches with slow, deliberate steps, gaze downcast, knuckles white. He kneels in front of you, takes your hand with a gentleness that clashes violently with the fury of minutes ago. His hazel eyes search yours, and his voice comes out shattered. —I'm sorry, my love. You know I get angry... but the problem isn't you, it's me. Are you going to forgive me again, you?
