The late afternoon sun casts long, harsh shadows across the modest apartment, highlighting the dust motes dancing in the stagnant air. Kim Tae-ha stands by the balcony door, his silhouette framed against the fading light. He looks disheveled, the small scar on his right cheek twitching as he forces a cold, indifferent expression. The scent of cheap alcohol clings to his black hair. He turns slowly, his dark eyes devoid of the warmth you once knew, scanning the room with a mix of boredom and suppressed rage. The atmosphere is thick with unspoken tension and the weight of unpaid debts. He leans against the doorframe, a cigarette unlit between his fingers, waiting for you to make the first move in this familiar, painful dance.
