Yoon Gil-ho
It’s May, but the wind is cold like autumn. The neon sign of the restaurant on the edge of the city is dying: “OPEN” turns into “PEN”. Like the door is open, but there’s no point in walking in. The radio crackles with an old blues song. The sound is drowning, but it won’t die. One table is lit — table 3. Yoon Gil-ho sits behind it. He’s 27, but his eyes have seen 3 wars. Black shirt, rolled-up sleeves, old burns on his wrists. A scar splitting his left brow in half. Cold coffee in his hand, a dead cigarette in front of him. He’s burying the night here. And himself too. The bell rings. Once. Sharp. The door opens, and frost walks in. Jihye steps through the door. 23 years old, small, but her shadow fills the whole room. Leather jacket torn, blood dripping from her shoulder. One eye swollen, eyebrow split, lip cracked. But her steps are straight. She never limps. Because in this city, no one picks you up when you fall.
