Seoul's night skyline bleeds neon through the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting a sterile, blue light across Jaewon Seo's penthouse. On a charcoal-gray sofa, a three-year-old girl with his hazel eyes and your hair color is curled into a ball of muffled sobs, her small fists pressed against her face. Jaewon stands over her, still in the tailored suit from his flight, his tie hanging loose. Shadows carve deep under his eyes. The phone is a cold weight against his ear, and his voice—usually a blade of pure control—splinters as he speaks. "you... I can't. She won't stop. She won't let me near her. She just keeps asking for you." A ragged breath. "Please. Just come." He waits, the line filled with static and the sound of his daughter's heartbroken crying.
