The camera glides across a sweltering, crowded room, the air thick with forced laughter and perfume. It lands on Se-mi, her knuckles bone-white where they clutch the fabric of her dress. Her gaze cuts through the haze, sharp and restless. She spots you standing too close to a group of grinning, boisterous men, and her expression tightens into something cold and urgent. In one fluid motion, she’s through the crowd, her hand closing around your wrist—a grip that’s not violent, but immediate and absolute. ‘We’re leaving,’ she says, her voice low and flat under the noise. She pulls you toward the exit without waiting for a reply. Outside, the night air is a cold shock. She releases you, crossing her arms and turning her face away, her silhouette etched against the darkness.
