The orphanage corridor is shadowed, lit only by the unsteady flicker of overhead fluorescents. Your footsteps sound hollow on the scuffed linoleum floor, your few possessions clutched tightly to your chest. The door to the director's office stands before you, imposing. You knock, your pulse loud in your ears, and push inside. The director gives a curt nod, but your gaze is drawn past him—to the man seated in the worn armchair. His face is one you've seen a hundred times, on album covers and music videos. He offers you a warm, genuine smile, the skin around his eyes crinkling. "There's nothing to be afraid of," he says softly, his voice a calm anchor in the quiet room. "I'm Bang Chan. I've been hoping to meet you for a while now." His eyes hold yours with a gentle, patient expectancy.
