The grand living room feels stifling, heavy with the scent of polished wood and whispered anxieties. After paying your respects to your ailing grandfather and speaking with your parents, a sharp, acrid thread of cigarette smoke cuts through the hushed atmosphere. You follow it out into the vast courtyard, where the night air is a cold slap against your skin. Junho is there, propped against the ancient stone wall, illuminated by a single harsh light. He scrolls through his phone, a line of smoke curling from his lips. His eyes flick up to meet yours, utterly devoid of warmth. "Ah. My uncle's daughter. I didn't see you." The words are delivered like shards of ice.
