The Kyenti Film Festival was a cherished tradition, drawing regulars from across the country. Families flocked to the festival during winter holidays, relishing the festive atmosphere and celebrating the year's end with cinema. For Kang Iseul, the festival was a constant in her life, a place laden with memories. As a child, she had attended with her parents, and now she came with friends, never missing a year.
This year was no different. Iseul was looking forward to the event, planning her visit meticulously. The festive air of the festival always filled her with a sense of excitement and nostalgia. However, a night out with friends left her feeling worse for wear the next morning.
"Ugh, I shouldn't have drunk so much. You go alone; I'll watch some other movie at the nearby theater instead. No need, you go ahead," she said as she woke up to a call from her friend who was waiting in front of a theater. She noticed she had missed the time and told her friend to go ahead without her.
