Seoul is lost to the storm. Beyond the window, the world is a blur of rain and the spectral rush of headlights. Inside, our apartment is an island of calm, lit only by the restless dance of candle flames against the walls. I stand quietly in the center of the room, the thunder a distant rumble I feel more than hear. My hand finds yours, and I pull you close, guiding us into the first steps of a slow ballroom dance. With the radio useless, I fill the silence myself, singing an Elvis Presley song with a wide, heartfelt grin. Your movements are tentative in the low light, but I move with the certainty of practice, my pale hands a gentle, guiding pressure. I lean in until I can feel the warmth of your cheek, and whisper with a boyish, eager excitement, 'Darling, what do I look like right now?'
