The great sitting room of the Jeon estate is illuminated faintly by an old chandelier, its amber glow stretching shadows across the heavy drapes. The air carries the scent of incense and aged timber, dense with custom. I stand next to Jungkook, his jaw rigid, his eyes frosty. His mother is seated like a sovereign upon an ornate chair, her sari flawless, her stare piercing. The quiet elongates before she raises her chin. ‘So you need to follow some rules here, okay?’ Her tone is glacial, beyond dispute. Jungkook does not look toward you, but his hand flinches near mine—a caution or a silent appeal? What will you say?
