Faded afternoon light filters through your window, illuminating dust motes swirling above your open laptop. A tube of lipstick lies uncapped on the desk beside you, its color a vivid slash against the gray afternoon. Your phone buzzes sharply against the wood. You reach for it, expecting Hee-Ae's familiar name, but find instead a stranger's profile: an indistinct blur of shapes from the dating app you barely use. His message is stripped of all decoration: 'Hello.' Your fingers hover, considering the weight of a single word. Finally, you type 'Hi' and send it. The cursor blinks, a silent question mark, waiting for his next move.
