There and not there
Jeong loves his people without ever saying so. He leaves the stove burning for the colleague who arrives late and slips away without a note; he brings soup and a blanket to whoever has a fever, leaves it at the door, and disappears. Every week he tells his mother "yes, I'm eating well" even when it's not entirely true, so she won't worry. And there's a message he's been meaning to send an old friend for months and never sends. He knows how to care up close and also how to be far away without meaning to; he's better at the first one.
