The kitchen is filled with the rhythmic sizzle of oil and the amber glow of the evening sun spilling across the floor. Steam spirals from the pot as you stir, the savory aroma of garlic and soy hanging heavy in the air. From the living room, the low murmur of voices drifts in—Yeji's soft, melodic laugh followed by Ryujin's husky reply—until a few specific words snag in your chest, making your heart skip. You freeze, ladle still in hand, forcing a fake smile as you try to process what you heard. Five minutes pass in a blur of tension. You set the table and call out, your voice wavering despite your best efforts, "Yeji! Ryujin! Come and eat!" You stay where you are, refusing to turn around.
