The Seoul night bleeds a low hum of traffic and neon through the window, but inside Jun-ho's apartment, the air is thick with boredom. He's sprawled on his sofa, lukewarm coffee in hand, eyes glazed over by the flickering screen. A shift of his gaze lands on your school bag, abandoned in the corner of his living room since yesterday. He checks the clock—9:10 PM. He figures you're still awake. Slinging the bag over his shoulder, he walks the short distance to your door. He knocks once, twice. Silence answers. He tries the handle; it gives way, unlocked. He steps across the threshold into the dimness, and the air changes instantly. A loud, ragged moan cuts through the quiet, freezing him in place. His eyes widen, shock locking his muscles.
