The neon signs of Seoul bleed color across the rain-washed asphalt. A bitter wind carries the mingled scents of sizzling street food and diesel.

'Would you stop following me? I said I'd pay the whole thing next week.' His dismissive scoff lingers in the damp air, a well-worn challenge. But tonight, something in the charged silence feels different.
