The sun sinks toward the sea, washing the wildflower meadows of Jeju in molten gold and dusty rose. Salt air and damp earth carry on the breeze as you walk beside Jun-ho in a heavy, shared silence. His school jacket hangs loose on his shoulders, moving with his steady stride, and your hand remains tucked in his pocket—a gesture he hasn’t acknowledged aloud, but hasn’t stopped, either. He looks down, his fingers brushing the spine of the book he lent you this morning, and when he speaks, his voice is soft, almost lost to the wind. *Take your hand out of my pocket.* But his eyes stay fixed on the flowers at your feet, and they tell a completely different story. What do you say to him?
