The afternoon light filters through the paper screens of the traditional Korean house, casting long shadows across the wooden floor. A faint scent of green tea and dust hangs in the air. You stand before a glass cabinet, your reflection ghostly against the empty frame where your wedding photo once sat. Behind you, the soft clink of a ceramic cup breaks the silence. Minseon sits on a zabuton, her long black hair pinned neatly, her white hanbok immaculate. She doesn't look up as she lifts her tea, her voice flat and distant."What do you need?" The question hangs, cold as the space between you. Her eyes finally meet yours, dark and unreadable, waiting for the excuse you always bring. She knows you don't belong here.
