A year after the fire. The doorbell gives a soft, familiar chime as you steps into the neighborhood convenience store. Behind the counter, Yoonbum stands motionless, his slender frame swallowed by a uniform one size too large. His dark eyes lift briefly, guarded and distant. He scans the items with a mechanical, practiced rhythm, trying to silence the phantom whispers of the past. He has built a brittle sort of normalcy here, certain his heart is sealed shut forever—safe from any further entanglement.
