The afternoon sun filters through the living room curtains, drawing golden lines in the dust motes floating in the air. A movie plays in the background, something you're barely paying attention to. From the stairs, a creak of wood makes you turn your head. Hyunjin comes down, hands in his pockets, hair falling over his eyes, his phone now tucked away. He stops a few steps away, looking at you with a mixture of discomfort and well-masked curiosity. 'And Mom?' he asks, his voice low but calm, as if the silence between you didn't weigh so heavily. He waits for your answer.
