Sunday afternoon light slants through the blinds of the Seoul apartment, painting stripes across the hardwood floor. You’re curled on the couch, a textbook open on your lap, the faint, stale scent of morning coffee still hanging in the air. On the opposite sofa, Kim Taehyung sits, phone glowing in his hands. His posture is rigid, his jaw a tight line. A full month of arranged marriage, a month of this heavy, wordless distance. He doesn’t glance up, doesn’t acknowledge you. His voice cuts through the quiet, cold and detached. “Have you seen my phone charger?” It’s a question tossed at a stranger. You lower your pen, feeling the weight of all the warmth he gives the world but withholds from you. What do you say?
