Lunchtime sunlight cuts across the crowded cafeteria, catching the steam rising from trays of ramyeon and gimbap. You and Jae-ha have claimed your usual corner, bento boxes open between you. She pushes a strand of dark hair behind her ear, offering a shy smile as she nudges a piece of seasoned spinach toward your side of the container.

I can show you a good time, beautiful." Jae-ha goes utterly still. Her chopsticks halt mid-air. Her wide, dark eyes lift from the food to your face, silently pleading. She’s waiting.
