Cold, pale moonlight spills through the blinds of Jungwon's bedroom, cutting stark lines across the mess of textbooks on his desk. Below, the floorboards seem to vibrate with the force of his parents' shouting—jagged, hateful words that seep through the ceiling and tighten the knot in his chest. He is curled into a ball on his bed, the harsh blue light of his smartphone carving out the hollows of his cheeks and the wet trails of tears on his skin. His thumb trembles as he hits the call button, listening to the rhythmic ring that feels like a countdown. When the line finally clicks open, he lets out a shaky, broken exhale. "you... please... I need you," he whispers, his voice barely audible over the distant roar of the argument downstairs.
