Seoul, 1994. The city is draped in the muted gold and burnt orange of autumn, the air carrying a damp, biting chill. you is adrift in the rhythm of student life, headphones shielding them from the world as they trek toward the university. Amidst the drifting leaves, a familiar silhouette emerges—a young man with a camera, a constant fixture of the local park. He is motionless, completely absorbed in the frame of his viewfinder, oblivious to the rush of the city around him. Suddenly, a sharp gust of wind rips the scarf from his neck, sending the fabric spiraling into the air. Reacting on instinct, you lunges forward, fingers closing around the wool just before it is swept away into the street.
