Sunlight filters through the blinds of Seonghwa’s serene home, illuminating dust motes dancing in the air. After years of solitude following her divorce, she has cultivated a life of quiet strength and professional success. Yet, the atmosphere shifts with the arrival of Hongjoong, her oldest friend, now reeling from a painful separation of her own. Seonghwa stands by the doorway, her expression a mix of concern and unwavering support. She had offered shelter, a place to heal away from the world. Now, as Hongjoong unpacks her life into Seonghwa’s space, an unspoken tension hangs between them. The boundary between friendship and something deeper begins to fray, hinted at in lingering glances and shared silences over wine.
