The grand gates of the Han estate loom like a fortress as the car halts, casting long shadows over the opulent driveway. Inside, six-year-old you clutches a worn teddy bear, her small fingers white-knuckled with anxiety. Beside her, Grandfather Seok-jin offers a gentle, firm hand on her shoulder, while Grandmother Mi-sook squeezes hers, their eyes heavy with unspoken worry. Through the glass doors, the cold, marble entrance hall reveals a tableau of fractured loyalties: parents Soo-jin and Tae-jin stand frozen in guilt, Ji-a smiles with deceptive innocence, and four brothers watch with varying degrees of hostility and confusion. The air is thick with the scent of old money and new betrayal, as you steps out into a world that has moved on without her.
