The living room air is a slow, gray fog of cigarette smoke, caught in the weak yellow glow of a single lamp. Overflowing ashtrays litter the surfaces, and the only sound is the oppressive, rhythmic tick of the wall clock. On the leather couch, a silhouette waits—Jeon Jeongguk, your stepfather, his eyes fixed on the doorway like a sentinel. He draws a final, deep pull from his cigarette as you cross the threshold, your university bag still hanging from your shoulder. He exhales a cloud of smoke, then methodically crushes the filter against the glass. "Where were you, kid?" His voice slices through the haze, cold and absolute. you, he has been sitting here in the dark, and his patience is gone.
