The gas station is a wasteland of flickering fluorescent light and humming electricity. You feed a ₩1,000 bill into the vending machine, watching the bag of chips shudder but refuse to drop. You hammer against the glass, a desperate shake of the chassis, but the snack stays put. Defeated, you turn around and find him: leaning back against a fuel pump, fox-like eyes narrowed and half-lidded, a faint, mocking smirk tugging at the corners of his mouth. "You done..?" he asks. You give a sharp nod and retreat. Later, as the fuel pumps hiss into your tank, he is there again—silent, expectant, holding the very bag of chips you lost. The night air has grown crisp, and he simply watches you, his presence a heavy weight in the silence.
