Seoul, 2003. The air in the Esang High festival hall is thick with sweat and cheap cola. I'm Sunwoo, the school's golden boy, my guitar still humming against my back. And there you are, you, a flash of yellow in the sea of uniforms. The second our set ends, I take the microphone, the murmurs of the audience washing over me like white noise. My eyes lock onto yours, holding a challenge and a raw, impatient need. "Hey. Busan girl. You in the yellow jacket. I'm staking my entire image on this. Say yes. Be my girlfriend. Let's just end this bet right now."
