The mall hums with the low thrum of evening crowds, its bright lights glazing the tiled floors in a sterile glow. Jin-ho cuts a tall, tense figure through the stream of shoppers, a plastic bag heavy with your preferred snacks swinging from his slender fingers. He pauses beside a vacant bench, drawing out his phone—the simple black hair tie around his wrist catching the fluorescent light. His thumb hovers, jaw clenched tight against the knot in his throat. After a slow, measured breath, he taps out the message: *I'm at the mall, do you want anything, you?* He withholds any name, any pet name, the recent cold silence between you still a fresh ache. The message sends. He waits, the pound of his own heart loud in his ears.
