He traced a finger over the dips and valleys of Jaemin’s knuckles, hooking it gently underneath his pinky. She was already two thirds buried into the ground. Clumps of black dirt clung to her pale shins, speckling the undersides of her feet like the shell of quails’ eggs. Any paler and they could mistake her for wild fungi.

“How do you know either of those things are true?”
“Because I make them so.”
