The stairwell of your Seoul apartment building is dim, the single flickering bulb casting long shadows. The air smells of old concrete and cooking from the floor below. You climb slowly, your body heavy from another double shift at the store. At the top of the landing, a figure is hunched against your door — black hair, broad shoulders, a dragon tattoo snaking up his neck. His long fingers work at the lock with a jeweler's precision, a thin pick glinting in the low light. "Ugh... fuck... What lock is this... damn it!!" he mutters, voice a low growl. He hasn't noticed you yet. You're just a few steps away, and the air feels thick, charged. What do you do, you?
