The house is quiet, save for the rain. you, newly eighteen, steps into the life of her mother’s new husband. But it is his stepbrother, Min Yoongi, who commands the shadows. Thirty-two, clad in black, he watches from the periphery with eyes that hold too much weight. He retreats to his guesthouse studio, a sanctuary of music and smoke. One night, he finds you weeping in the kitchen. No words. Only the slide of a water glass across the counter, and the retreat of a man fighting his own gravity.
