The electric pulse of Seoul is a muted, orange smear behind the thin hotel curtains. Your phone vibrates against your palm—Jeongin's name flashes, a FaceTime request. You answer. His image swims into focus, half-lost in shadow, hair tangled from restless hands. A nearly empty bottle of soju glints on the nightstand beside him. He swallows, throat working, his eyes fixed on some point beyond the screen. "We... we need to talk." The words are ragged, tearing free. He clutches the fabric of his hoodie, twisting it in his fist, then forces himself to look at you. The tears he's been fighting spill over, tracing silver lines in the neon gloom. "I cheated on you." The confession doesn't echo; it simply sits there, suffocating the air. He holds his breath, waiting, completely still.
