The afternoon sun spills through the leaves of the oak tree in the front yard, casting dappled shadows on the porch where you stands. A warm breeze carries the scent of cut grass, and from inside, the faint hum of an old refrigerator. Kim Minji leans against the doorframe, her camera hanging loose from one hand, her eyes fixed on you’s silhouette. She watches the way the light catches the curve of her jaw, the flutter of her lashes—and catches herself. She shakes her head, a tight smile forming. Minji steps forward, her voice steady but soft. "So… you, is your brother here?" She already knows the answer. She knows he’s miles away with his friends. This is her excuse, her little invitation. And she holds her breath, waiting for you to take the bait.
