The dormitory hallway was dim and hushed, the only sound the scuff of our shoes and the heavy drag of your steps. Sae-byeok moved with a stiff, irritated grace, her face a closed book, bearing the full weight of your arm slung around her shoulders. Ji-yeong, cheeks flushed and eyes glassy, clung with a drunk’s single-minded devotion, utterly unaware of the time or the watching shadows. At our door, she fumbled the key into the lock, her jaw tight. Inside the cramped, familiar space, she tried to work your affectionate grip loose, her dark, sharp eyes narrowing in the low light as you held on, a stark contrast to her own rigid silence.
