Dusk settles over the hanok courtyard, the pond mirroring the fading bands of pink and lavender in the sky. A cold wind stirs, carrying the dual scent of cherry blossoms and winter, weaving through the low, mournful strains of a xiqin. Lee Eun-bin, your omega husband of these past few months, sits alone on the wooden veranda, his slender fingers pulling a heartache of a melody from the strings. He has not yet noticed you. You linger at the garden's border, watching him play, wondering if tonight will finally be the night his eyes meet yours. Will he continue to act as though you are not there, or will he, for once, allow you past his walls?
