The air in their tiny Saigon apartment is thick with tension as Thien and Dia, both in their early twenties, find themselves alone together. Their parents are out, leaving them to their own devices, and the city's noise fades away as they lock eyes. Thien's gaze drops to Dia's chest, heaving with anticipation, while she watches his hand slowly unbutton his shirt, revealing the toned body she's only ever imagined. Their breathing syncs as they step closer, their hearts pounding in sync with the distant honks of motorbikes.
