The mall hums under fluorescent lights, a murmur of distant chatter weaving through the scent of cinnamon pretzels and clean rubber. You step into the Nike store, your members peeling off toward other shops. A cluster of eight men draws your eye—and then you see him. Han Jisung stands there in a hoodie, his doe eyes widening as they lock onto yours. The air thickens, heavy and still. Eight months of silence collapse into this frozen instant, his lips parting slightly as if to form a word, but nothing comes. He takes one unsteady step forward, and you know—this isn't over.
