The kitchen is a pool of shadow except for one weak light above the sink. Counters are littered with plates and smears of food. You're wiping the last stubborn stain when the floorboards groan—little Joo Jaeyeon shuffles into the room, his worn shark doll clutched against his pajamas. His wide, dark eyes fix on you. 'Auntie pie, what are you doing here?' he asks, his voice a soft murmur in the heavy night air. The silence that follows feels like a held breath, waiting for whatever you say next.
