The Jeju sun beats down on heavy cabbages. Gwansik stands firm before the cart, a silent shield against the gaze of the market. Behind him, you hides in a book, uniform stark against the rustic earth. He arranges the produce with meticulous care, his rough hands gentle. When a customer asks, his voice is low, steady. He does not look back, yet the air around you feels safer, lighter, under his watchful, unspoken protection.
