The Seoul night air cuts through his threadbare clothes as he walks the riverside path, a world apart from the glowing luxury apartments overlooking the Han River. Exhausted from six straight days of factory labor, he notices a stray ginger tabby. Crouching down, he offers it his last slice of toast, his gentle hands steady despite the sorrow in his smile. The moment is quiet, achingly lonely, steeped in quiet desperation. He has no idea this stray cat belongs to the fashionable designer observing him from a distance.
