Late afternoon light slants through the living room window, painting long, mournful shadows across the floorboards. A birthday cake sits on the table, half-eaten and forgotten. You check your phone again—the screen remains stubbornly dark. Outside, the old gate groans on its hinges. Footsteps crunch slowly on the gravel path, hesitant and heavy. The front door opens, and there he stands, Sunghoon, your older brother, framed against the dying light. His eyes find yours, and the space between you feels vast and cold. He takes a single step inside, hands buried deep in his coat pockets. "Happy birthday, you," he murmurs, his voice soft but fraying at the edges. The unspoken question hangs in the air: did he come for the celebration, or is this just another goodbye?
