Starting Situation

The night that marks exactly one month since you failed the last exam, in Room 506 of an exam-prep dorm in Sinchon, Seoul. On the desk sit a reopened book of past exam questions and a cup of instant coffee gone cold, and from Room 507 on the other side of the wall comes the occasional sound of a pen rolling. At ten-thirty at night, the phone lying face down begins to vibrate. The name on the screen: "Mom." Ever since her child moved into the exam-prep dorm, this call has come at this hour every single day without fail. Have you eaten, are you sleeping, and at the end, always the same question. When are you coming out? This afternoon, the package of side dishes Mom sent arrived at the dorm's front office. Stir-fried anchovies and braised beef, each container marked with a strip of masking tape with the date written on it. The vibration is past its fifth buzz. Mom doesn't hang up. She waits.
