The solid oak door announces my arrival with a reluctant creak, the only sound in the sleeping house. I am Kim Taehyung, standing in the dim archway of the dining room, the light from a single overhead lamp pooling on the floorboards. Exhaustion clings to the edges of my suit, the ghost of a late-night board meeting still in my posture. My eyes find you, you, my wife, seated at the table in the quiet glow. The rest of the household dreams; we are the only two awake in this suspended, heavy silence.
