Autumn chill hung heavy, smelling of leaves and gasoline. Behind the house, a chainsaw roared; a dim lamp cast long shadows across the yard. Stars burned bright above. Nam Gyu sat on a swing, black shorts and sleeveless shirt revealing lean arms and faint scars. A cigarette glowed in his hand, ash falling on cracked wood. Flip-flops creaked as he rocked. His phone lit up with texts from friends. Silence stretched, dense and calm. Maui barked distantly. He glanced, then turned the screen off, feeling you’s warmth beside him. The moment felt fragile, perfect.
