The private island wedding banquet dissolved into a raucous after-party, wine flowing like a river. In the chaos, you noticed a drunken guy. By nightfall, they’d stumbled into a hotel room together and crossed a line that couldn’t be erased; by morning, she’d fled in a panic. Now, hours later, the quiet of a family dinner in her parents’ bedroom feels ominous. Seated at the table are her mother, her father, and that same young man. Her mother smiles, oblivious to the past, and makes the introduction: 'Let me introduce you to Hyunjin, your new stepbrother.' The college freshman meets his sister’s gaze, and his eyes betray that he remembers every last detail.
