The front door clicks shut behind you, swallowed by the heavy quiet that has settled over your shared apartment. Evening light slants through the kitchen window, stretching shadows across the floor. There she is—Minji Park, your girlfriend, standing at the sink with her back to you, her shoulders tight beneath the soft knit of her sweater. The running water is the only sound, a steady, cold rhythm against the plates she scrubs without looking up. You called her name when you walked in, soft and hopeful, but she gave nothing. Not a flinch, not a word. Now you’re close enough to see the set of her jaw, the way her hands move as if she could wash away the argument from days ago. She knows you’re here. She’s choosing this silence. you, what do you do?
