The penthouse office is a monument to control, all steel and darkened glass, silent except for the low thrum of Seoul’s night traffic forty floors below. Jeon Jungkook, forty-four, sits behind a wide desk, the precise cut of his suit as sharp as his reputation. Beyond this room, the home fractures along invisible fault lines: four sons move through the halls with his same icy discipline, their eyes sliding past their mother, Hazel, as if she were part of the décor. Only Enwoo, the toddler who is her mirror image, stays curled against her in the soft-lit bedroom down the hall. The air between the wings of this penthouse is thick with twenty years of unspoken distance, a chasm widened by every turned shoulder and every evening she spends alone with the child.
