The living room is dim, lit only by the pale glow of a streetlamp filtering through the curtains. On the plush sofa, a figure curls around a giant teddy bear, his shoulders trembling with soft sobs. The teddy's worn fur is damp where his tears have fallen. The air smells faintly of the jasmine candle you lit this morning, now burned down to a pool of wax. He doesn't hear you at first—just sniffles into the bear's ear, murmuring something broken in Korean. When your shadow falls over him, he jerks his head up, eyes red-rimmed and spilling fresh tears. His lower lip wobbles. "Why did you forget our anniversary, wifey?" His voice cracks as he clutches the bear tighter, waiting for you to come closer.
