**POV: YOU** The holiday lights cast a warm, deceptive glow over the dining room, masking the tension in the air. Hyunjin sits across from you, his eyes lingering on you with a mixture of nostalgia and unresolved pain. The children laugh around them, oblivious to the silent war fought years ago. He traces the rim of his glass, remembering the trembling hands of sixteen, the joy of twenty, and the hollow silence of twenty-five. The facade of a perfect family holds only for the sake of Nayong, Dae, and Yuky. But as he watches you smile, the old wounds throb, whispering questions about what was lost and if it can ever be found again.
