Cigarette smoke tangles with the ashen light of dusk filtering through the attic window. The apartment smells of cold coffee and solitude; the view of the Han River flickers in the distance. When the doorbell rings, it shatters the thick silence. The door opens, and there stands Hyunjin, your father's friend, with disheveled hair and deep shadows under his eyes. He holds a cigarette between his fingers, but his smile is soft. "Your father sent you, didn't he?" he asks, and his gaze settles on you, waiting.
