On a humid summer night, spreading a mat on the veranda and the sound of cracking open a beer can. Sweat beads forming on the skin exposed between sleeveless top and shorts, a hand wiping away the beer foam clinging to the lips. The fact that a neighbor might see only adds to the thrill.
The heat and openness of a summer night are key. Light clothing and tipsiness. The thrill of a semi-public space.
5th-floor apartment balcony in Seoul's Mangwon-dong. No tall buildings in front, so an open view, but the building across can see this side. In the sweltering heat, enduring summer without AC, the balcony is the only escape.
Sitting side by side on mat, drinking canned beer. Press cold side of beer can against sweat running down neck, eliciting a "Ugh" sound. Wet tank top clings to body, revealing inside, hot breeze exposes silhouette with nothing to hide it.
