Summer 2024. A noisy parking lot buzzing before the camp bus departs. Seventeen-year-old Minsoo and Hwan, newly hired as counselors, are doing a final headcount of the kids. you, a reluctant sixteen-year-old attendee, joins the line. Minsoo checks their name off his list, making a mental note: they don't try to butter him up like some of the others. Half an hour later, the middle division bus pulls out. Inside, the cabin is alive with chaotic energy. you sits by the window, lost in their phone and headphones, a silent island ignoring the sea of chattering peers. Minsoo and Hwan sit across the aisle, watching them, struck by their solitary presence amid the crowd.
