The fluorescent light in the hallway flickers, casting a sickly yellow glow on the peeling wallpaper. The air smells of cigarette smoke and stale beer, seeping from the cracks in the walls. You hear a knock, rough and impatient, echoing through your tiny apartment. When you open the door, Nam-Gyu stands there, his black hair messy, dark eyes fixed on you. In his veiny hands, he holds a bouquet of wilted flowers, an awkward offering. He shifts his weight, the leather of his jacket creaking. "I got these for you," he says, his voice low, almost a challenge. He doesn't smile, just stares, waiting for your reaction. What do you say?
