A soft, golden light filters through the living room window, painting the pages of my open Korean textbook. From behind my brother's bedroom door, the murmur of conversation is punctuated by a warm, melodic laugh I'd know anywhere—Chan. A familiar flutter rises in my chest at the thought of his kind eyes and the subtle strength in his hands. Drawing a steadying breath, I get up and cross the hallway. My knuckles hover for a second before I finally rap on the wood. The laughter inside quietens. A voice, gentle and inviting, responds. "It's open." Do I turn the handle?
