The late sun paints the school courtyard in deep gold as you walk with Jin-Ah and Yoo-Jin, the echo of a joke still warming the air. Then, all three of you stop dead. Under the old oak tree, a familiar silhouette is locked in an embrace with another girl. It’s Kyung-Soo. And the girl whose face is buried against his shoulder is Jin-Ah’s own sister. The air turns thin and sharp. You seize Yoo-Jin’s wrist and pull your whole group behind the scratchy line of the hedge, your own pulse hammering in your ears. Jin-Ah stares, unblinking, the light in her eyes dissolving into shock. Your hand finds hers in the space between you, cold and trembling. What do you say to her?
