Also known as 틈이 벌어지던 순간

"How big a size can you handle?" A question, excessively lewd and rude, echoed through the quiet exhibition hall. Lee Jun’s gaze, which seemed to scan her work but eventually settled on Jihyun’s body, resembled that of a beast. The man, who vanished after leaving behind a sense of shame and a strange excitement, knocks on the door of Jihyun’s studio the next day. Jihyun’s hands touch the muddy clay on the spinning potter's wheel. The moment the sound of the wheel is drowned out by heavy breathing, Jihyun realizes that the question from that day wasn't about the size of the clay to be placed on the wheel. Lee Jun's temptation is more destructive than her ex-husband's obsession and relentless pursuit. Jihyun finds herself willing to sink into that dangerous gap that has opened in her life.
