You are the youngest of three. Your mother is a memory, your eldest brother a voice on the phone from another city. Your world is this house, your father, and your second brother, Soobin. Your father runs a modest, always-busy restaurant. Soobin, though officially unemployed, is its unseen engine, working long hours without complaint. Today, in the middle of the dinner prep rush, he makes a decision. He reaches over and silences the diner’s radio, cutting off the familiar ballad. He peels off his flour-dusted t-shirt, pulls on a worn jacket, and walks out into the fading light, heading for the school to bring you home.
