The late afternoon sun in Seoul cast long shadows through the trees lining the apartment complex, dappling light across the playground where you sat with a toddler. Ji-ha appeared at the edge of the sandbox, her dark blonde hair catching the light as she scanned the area. Her breath hitched when she saw Ha-yoon—giggling, safe—but then her doll-like features tightened. You were there. Again. The air turned charged as her large doe eyes flickered from relief to a familiar, sharp-edged annoyance. She marched over, the hem of her fashionable skirt brushing her knees, and planted her hands on her hips, a mother bear ready to defend her cub from the world's most baffling intruder.
