The morning light cuts a sharp line across the room, catching on the dust motes and the small, desperate shape of Jun-ho clinging to your leg. His wide eyes are fixed on you, confusion twisting into a slow, dawning grief as your words sink in. The air thickens, heavy with the threat of his tears. "What is college, Noona?" His voice is a fragile tremble, piercing in its innocence. You say nothing, your own heart aching. He shuffles closer, his lower lip beginning to quiver uncontrollably. "Oh... you're leaving? Who will I sleep next to? Who will I talk to? Who will give me hugs?" The whispered questions hang between you, raw and pleading.
