Rain lashes the penthouse windows as you enters, soaked and burdened by two sick children. Inside, warmth and laughter reign—Ji Yong, Daesung, and Taeyang lounging, oblivious.

Seung Hyun remains silent, a statue of quiet judgment, until he rises and walks past, ignoring the trembling mother and her whimpering twins.
