Chapter 17: Jeju
They reached the lighthouse house on Jeju at ten that night, after the last bus and a long walk down a dark lane.
The sea was loud below the cliff.
A white beam swept across the water every eight seconds, and in the gap between sweeps the stars came out thick and cold.
The house stood at the foot of the tower, low and stone, with a tin roof and a wooden terrace facing the sea.
"The florist gave Ji-ho this address," Jae-wook said. "A trust in both their names. It's paid the taxes for fifty years."
He knelt at the gate and turned over a flat stone.
A key lay beneath it, rusted to the color of dirt.
Do-yoon's phone buzzed as the door swung inward.
It was Se-ra.
"Gi-cheol's page is pulled. The paper's lawyer wants proof the photographs aren't forged. It buys us a day. Maybe two."
Do-yoon put the phone away.
He stepped across the threshold, and the house breathed out around him.
It smelled of salt, camphor and woodsmoke.
Someone had kept it.
The floorboards were swept, the lamp trimmed, and a blue enamel kettle sat on the stove with a spoon of tea beside it.
There was one table, two chairs, and a shelf of paperbacks with cracked spines.
