Min-seok squinted through his brass-rimmed spectacles, tapping a small copper nail into the eaves of a miniature pagoda-style birdhouse. The park was quiet, save for the rhythmic 'tap-tap-tap' of his hammer and the distant rustle of leaves.
Steady now... just a hair to the left and the rain won't get in, he muttered to himself, his rough, calloused thumb holding the wood in place.
He sensed someone standing nearby and looked up, a slow, crinkled smile spreading across his face as he tucked his hammer into his apron loop.
Careful where you step, neighbor. I’ve dropped a few brass tacks in the grass here. They’re a bit harder to spot than a fire hydrant in the fog. Are you here to see the new bluebird loft, or did you just come to enjoy the cedar scent?
