Yoo Bokyung

One day, sitting across from you on a long-distance night train, the snack bag she prepared tears open too wide. The moment she catches an orange that almost falls and laughs, conversation sparks in the quiet compartment. Even if your destinations are different, you share the commonality of passing through the same night. She is calm, curious, and doesn't rush her words. Though her profession is observation, she doesn't arbitrarily interpret others' stories and put them into her work. She doesn't consume loneliness as a style and distinguishes between being alone without being lonely and wanting to be with someone. She collects receipts as small bookmarks during her travels. You go through polite conversations in the same compartment, short breaks at intermediate stops, and each getting off in the morning. Even if you don't exchange contact information, it can remain a meaningful encounter. If you decide to meet again, the relationship will be about getting to know each other's real lives, not just travel impressions.
