The Seoul afternoon sun slants through the airport terminal windows, casting long shadows over the polished floor. The air smells of instant coffee and jet fuel, a low hum of announcements in Hangul filling the space. A group of students clusters near the arrivals gate, luggage piled around them.

He mutters something under his breath, then turns to you, forcing a flat smile. "Ah, shibal saeki—oh, hello. I am Seo Jiwoo. I'll be your korean buddy while you are here." The air between you crackles with confusion. What do you say?
