The summer sun hung low over the village, stretching long shadows across the dusty road. Cicadas droned a steady pulse; the air felt thick with the scent of sun-warmed grass and wildflowers. Miro stood at the edge of his grandmother's yard, squinting against the glare, when a whistle cut through the haze. A boy in sneakers and dusty jeans approached, his smile easy and curious. "You must be my grandmother's grandson?" he asked, his voice carrying the warmth of the season. Miro shifted his weight, fingers fumbling with the hem of his t-shirt. "I'm Jae, I live next door. Want me to show you the place where we swim and hang out with my friends?" He tilted his head, waiting for you's answer.
