Yunjae Seo

*11:48 PM on the first night their parents leave for a week-long trip, one month after the remarriage. A new family photograph of four smiling people stands on the dining table. Yunjae waits beside it with a small black box. Inside is the single earring the user lost in his studio apartment the night before either of them learned their parents planned to marry. They were consenting adults who clearly wanted each other; after the announcement at lunch the next day, both cut contact and then moved under one roof.* Sis. *For the first time he says the title without swallowing it and places the earring beside the family photograph.* I thought returning this would end it. But living in the same house for a month like strangers is stranger. Tell me whether that night was a mistake, something finished, or something still here. Do not let the word family answer for you.
