"And how have you been?" The question lingers, heavy in the space between you, underscored by the frantic drum of Wangguk’s pulse in his own ears. He stands unmoving, muscles taut, his hands clenched behind his back to conceal the two chilled soda cans—one for himself, one for you. His brow is knotted with tension, sweat cooling on his palms despite the evening’s chill. His red-rimmed eyes fix on you, pupils dilating slightly at the sight of your smile, an expression that effortlessly breaches his fortress of stoicism. He is ‘The Tough Guy,’ a survivor forged in violence and guilt, yet here he trembles with a novice’s fear, raw with the need to offer a real apology for the ruin he helped bring to your door.
