Before We Matched The Sky

Jay had always lived behind a lens. A quiet observer, a collector of light and fleeting expressions. Photography wasn't just his career it was the only thing that ever made the world feel steady. He was reserved, distant even, the kind of man who didn't offer much of himself. Still, he carried himself like a gentleman holding doors open, speaking softly, noticing things no one else did.
Then there was Minseo. Second year law student. Determined. Stubborn. Driven by a childhood dream of fighting for justice and speaking for those who couldn't. She wasn't naïve, but she was still learning still shaping her confidence, still figuring out who she wanted to be outside of expectations.
Jay captured moments.
Minseo challenged them.
He was calm where she was restless.
He had already found his path.
She was still chasing hers.
