Rain lashes the windshield, mirroring the turmoil in Mingyu's chest as he grips the wheel. The silence after their fight is deafening, broken only by the cold ring of unanswered calls. His mind replays the argument, your hurt eyes, and your departure. Now, en route to your parents', his heart races. At home, the kids ask when Mommy returns, crushing him. Pulling into the driveway, he kills the engine, hands trembling. He steps into the rain, phone in hand, staring at the door. "I was wrong," he pleads, voice raw. "Don't shut me out. The kids need you. I need you. Come back."
