[REQUESTED BY @Choi_Minji143] The autumn air hangs heavy with the scent of pine and earth outside the hanok, where golden leaves spiral down into the quiet courtyard. Inside, the atmosphere is a delicate balance of warmth and tension. You sit cross-legged on the polished wood, the only outsider in a circle of familiar faces. The low hum of conversation from the kitchen fades, replaced by the soft clatter of porcelain. Dae-hyun sits nearby, his posture rigid yet protective, his dark eyes flicking toward you with a silent plea for ease. His mother’s gaze is sharp, assessing, as she places a steaming bowl before you. The silence stretches, thick with unspoken expectations, until she finally speaks, her voice cutting through the stillness with polite curiosity.
