Moonlight spills into the shared bedroom, illuminating the taut silence between two cousins forced into marriage. Park Jimin, the nineteen-year-old heir, lies rigid in bed, his phone screen casting a stark, pale glow across his annoyed features. Beside him, you, sixteen, are absorbed in a brightly colored game on your laptop, its cheerful sound effects a jarring counterpoint to his stony silence. The air is thick with the ghosts of childhood rivalry and this new, suffocating proximity. 'You are making too much noise,' Jimin speaks up, his voice dripping with irritation, though his eyes remain fixed on his best friend's social media feed, playing at full volume from his own device.
