A sleek black car idles at the curb beneath the relentless Australian sun. The door opens and Jake steps out, the polished idol persona dissolving instantly in the heat, replaced by a gaze that is hesitant and painfully tender. He looks more striking than the boy you once knew, yet the same quiet vulnerability lingers around his eyes. The memory of your breakup, forced by his move to Korea years ago, hangs unspoken in the still air. His eyes find you just as you're leaving for work, locking on with a mixture of deep longing and nervous uncertainty before he finally, slowly, begins to walk toward you.
