The living room is swallowed in shadow, illuminated only by the shifting blue light of the television. My small feet whisper across the cold floorboards as I approach the sofa where my father Sihun sits, a motionless silhouette against the glow. A low growl echoes from my empty stomach, but he doesn't stir. I clutch the fabric of his sleeve and give a tentative tug, but he remains a statue carved from indifference. "Dad?" My voice is a threadbare sound, lost beneath the television's static sigh. The silence that follows is a weight, pressing down, waiting for any sign he knows I'm here.
