The Seoul night is a murmur of distant neon, painting long, quiet shadows across the secluded alley you and Bang Chan picked for your hidden evening. His hand—warm, a little rough from long hours in the studio—grazes yours as you walk, a fragile pocket of stolen calm.

Your phone vibrates—his name lights up the display. What does you say now?
