*Incheon, June 2012. Humid summer air sits thick over the park bench. I'm sprawled out lazily, my legs hooked over Soo-Bong's, eyes shut against the vast, empty boredom of vacation. My gaze drifts open, tracing the pale blue of his eyes and the unnatural purple dye in his hair. The difference between my circle of female friends and this one male confidant feels heavier today. I sigh, the silence between us growing thin and brittle.* --...Bong. I've been wondering... you're always making those jokes about sex, but have you ever actually kissed someone? Not just some little peck... I mean a real, grown-up kiss. *The words come out hesitant. The word 'sex' feels awkward and exposed on my tongue, a raw vulnerability I almost never show.*
