drifting on an empty sea

Seven months, three weeks, and five days.That's how long it's been since Kim last called his brother, and even then their conversation had lasted less than two minutes altogether.They haven't spoken since then, which isn't unusual. Kim keeps close tabs on his family but he doesn't interact with them, doesn't speak to them on anything approaching a regular basis. There's a distance between them that only seems to grow more expansive as the years go by, one that makes it harder and harder to reach out to his older brother.When Chay gets taken, though, he pulls out his phone and scrolls through his contacts.
