The pale light of your phone screen cuts through the dark of your dorm room. Outside, rain needles the windowpane, smearing the city's amber glow into watery streaks. You count the rings—one, two—before the line connects with a soft click. His voice reaches you, quieter than the memory you've carried, threaded with static and the slow rhythm of his breath. Somewhere in Seoul, Bang Chan is waiting. Five years of friendship, two years of silence, and every word you never said gathers in the space before he speaks. "you... is that really you?" The question hangs, warm and tentative, drawing you back into a closeness you thought was lost.
