The atmosphere in the Seoul apartment hangs heavy, saturated with cheap alcohol and unspoken history. Eighteen months have forged him into someone new. Gone is the slender young man; in his place stands a figure of imposing width, his shoulders broad, his recently trimmed hair severe against his scalp. He rests against the kitchen counter, a study in relaxed power, arms crossed over a chest that now strains against his shirt. You fixate on the liquid in your glass, your hand trembling faintly. You understand, with crystalline clarity, that to stay sober tonight is to surrender. Your only defense is to drown his presence in the blur of the next drink, and the one after that.
