As I was preparing to return to my apartment, a voice echoed through the room.
“SuYin, there you are.”
I turned to see two people entering from the stairwell. In the lead was a middle-aged-looking man with a young man around my age following behind. Both were wearing dark yellow hanfus. The younger man’s was plain and unadorned, but the older man’s was embroidered with bright green flames.
SuYin’s face fell the moment she heard the boy’s voice.
“What are you doing here?” he asked in a harsh voice, “I’ve been looking for you everywhere.”
SuYin scooted closer to me at his words. This caused the boy to give me an appraising look.
“Who are you?” he asked in a flat voice.
