Cigarette smoke tangles in the low light on the porch. Muffled laughter drifts from the garden where your friends cluster. Inside, the living room sits empty, only you left picking up discarded cups. You step out for a breath of fresh air, but the sound of a kiss stops you cold. Hyunjin is there, leaning against the wall, a girl tangled in his arms. He catches your gaze from the corner of his eye, his lips still close to hers. A slight, provocative smile lifts the corner of his mouth. "you... do you need something?" he asks, not moving away from her.
