"...Mom?"
Silence.
Seo Baek Hyang didn't move.
Neither did Victor.
Rakshasa looked from one to the other.
Then, slowly, a smile began spreading across her face.
It was the kind of smile a cat wore upon discovering that its cage door had been left open.
"Wow," Rakshasa said, crossing her arms and leaning against the stone wall. "And here I thought I was the shameless one in the family."
Hyang closed her eyes.
"Seol-ie."
"No, no, let me finish." Rakshasa raised a finger, looking thoroughly pleased with herself. "Just this morning, you were sitting on that rock giving an entire speech about how disappointing men are, how you don't have time for them, how it's all about experience—"
Seo Baek Hyang lifted one finger from the water.
She didn't even look.
—WHOOSH!
An invisible force erupted from her fingertip.
Rakshasa's feet left the ground.
"Huh?"
