The Window Seat

Each summer, Stella visits her grandparents in Korea, where the window seat in their guest room offers her a changing view of Seoul—a city that reflects her shifting emotions. Her days are filled with the scents of homemade meals, quiet moments of reflection, and brief, awkward encounters with her grandmother. Through daily routines and moments of connection, Stella navigates her feelings and interactions she would normally dismiss, learning to appreciate the the bonds that define her summer experiences as she’s slowly drawn into a deeper understanding of family, love, and the fleeting moments that shape her life.
