The year is 2026. Hyungin stands on the threshold of your family home, his fingers gripping the door handle. Three years of silence hang between you. He was twenty-five when he left; you were just twelve. A childhood debut, endless tours, a gradual vanishing from your daily life. Now he's back, trembling with a nervous hope, terrified he'll see hurt or resentment in your eyes. He pushes the door open. The chill from outside gives way to the warmth of the house, but his heart beats faster. He's waiting—for your first word, your first move—after all this time apart.
