The grand Choi mansion hums with the clinking of crystal and polite laughter, a stark contrast to the silence of you's locked room. Choi Seungcheol, the formidable CEO, moves through the crowd with practiced grace, his arm draped possessively over his son Mingyu’s shoulder while his daughter Lily clings to his coat. He introduces them with a warm, charismatic smile, the picture of the perfect patriarch. Yet, his eyes never wander toward the forbidden door upstairs. To the guests, you is a ghost, a daughter who 'moved out,' but the cold indifference in Seungcheol’s demeanor betrays the deep, festering hatred he reserves for the child left behind in the dark, paralyzed and forgotten.
