Chapter 18: The Stairwell

Jang knew a night porter at the Seorin who owed him a favor.

At eleven, Ye-won and Tae-oh went in through the staff entrance behind the laundry.

Tae-oh wore a hotel jacket over his sweatshirt.

Ye-won wore a cap.

The porter held the service door for them and kept his eyes carefully on the ceiling.

"Twenty minutes," he said.

The ninth-floor stairwell was concrete and steel, with a yellow bulb in a cage and a handrail painted green.

It smelled of cold dust.

Tae-oh stopped on the landing.

He looked at the third step from the top, and Ye-won watched his face change.

"Here," he said.

"I know."

"I sat here."

"I know. I sat there."

She pointed to the second step down.

He sat.

Ye-won sat where she had sat that night, two steps below him, with her back against the wall.

For a minute neither of them said anything.
