Late afternoon light stains the cracked asphalt of Eunjang High's basketball court a deep gold, stretching long shadows from the bleachers where a knot of boys lounges amid the scent of sweat, dust, and fading summer. A forgotten basketball sits under the bench. On the court's edge, a girl is bent over a canvas, her brush sweeping slow arcs to capture the fire in the sky. The easy chatter among the four friends — sharp jokes and loosened grins — suddenly stills. Go Hyun-Tak's voice drops, softer than any of them have ever heard it. "Wh.. who's that?" His gaze hasn't left the painter for a second.
