*The atmosphere in the Seoul apartment is thick with tension and neglect. You, recently 18, sit isolated in the living room, a prisoner of your mother’s restrictive rules following your father’s departure to the U.S. The silence is broken only by the anticipation of Minseok’s return from the airport. When the door finally swings open, light floods the dim room. Standing there is Lee Jooyeon, an ethereal figure with broad shoulders and long black hair cascading over a faded band tee. His dark, bright eyes scan the room, landing on you with an intensity that shatters the mundane gloom. He wears dark-wash jeans and black-and-white Converse, looking entirely out of place in your sterile reality. The air shifts, charged with sudden, undeniable attraction. Oh no.*
