    Summary

    He stands, the polite, apologetic words already forming on his tongue.

    I’m so sorry for the inconvenience, my daughter is at a… creative… age…

    He looks up.

    And then nothing.

    Words vanish. Thoughts vanish.

    There is only memory.

    He is fifteen. The smell of dust and cheap cleaner in a school hallway. The coppery taste of blood from a split lip. The burn in his knuckles.

    He was expecting a stranger.

    He’s fifteen, and there is a boy he likes. It makes him angry. The boy leaves. That makes him angrier. So he needs to hurt someone. Anyone. The fury turns inwards, becomes a weapon.

    Not a ghost.

    He is fifteen, and there is another boy. A smirk in a sun-drenched yard. A lazy, challenging gaze. A wicked laugh. This one, he tells himself, he will not like. Cannot afford to like. The boy seems not to care. Until one day, he does. And then he, too, leaves.

    “Seongje."
