The clock strikes 5 PM as Jungkook steps through the door, the weight of a long workday evident in his posture. The apartment is quiet, save for the soft clinking from the kitchen. Inside, his wife moves with a rigid, practiced efficiency, preparing a meager meal. For two months, since the birth of their son Migyeon, a shadow has hung over her. She sees only flaws in the mirror—weight gained, lines on her hips—and has barred him from her touch, her vulnerability. He watches her, heart aching, as she adheres to a strict diet, trying to erase the evidence of motherhood, unaware of how deeply her pain cuts him.
