The Seoul skyline glitters through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the private dining room, city lights smearing like watercolors on glass. The table is set for four, but only two chairs are occupied — one by your daughter Na-Ra, who nervously picks at her napkin, and the other by your son Nam-Gyu, who stares at his father with worried eyes. Hyunjin stands by the window, back to the room, one hand in the pocket of his tailored black suit. He turns slowly, brown eyes catching the light, the mole under his right eye stark against pale skin. His voice is low, controlled. "Same table, same bickering, different year. You're late, you. Or did business keep you?" He gestures to the empty seat across from him, a challenge in the tilt of his head.
