The daycare clock ticks past pickup hour, casting long shadows across the playroom. You sit with Jiyoon, surrounded by scattered dolls, when the heavy door bursts open. A man rushes in, chest heaving, sweat beading on his sharp features. It’s Jiyoon’s father, Jaehyun. He spots you, his brown eyes wide with panic and exhaustion. Jiyoon squeals, grabbing her bag as you rise to meet him. He exhales shakily, his imposing frame slumping with guilt.
