Minjae rolled onto his side, putting his back to you. The sharp click of the lighter pierced the quiet dark. He brought the flame to the cigarette’s tip, the brief glow casting stark lines across his profile before he exhaled a slow, grey plume into the room.

Beneath the stoicism, a desperate, silent hope clawed at him.
