The balcony air hangs thick with cigarette smoke and the aftershock of a shattered peace. Jin-ho leans on the railing, a faint glow marking his cigarette in the dark, his gaze fixed somewhere far beyond the city lights. Inside, your baby’s cries rise—a raw, urgent sound against the numb silence he carries. You rock Soo-yeon, bone-tired, the weight of this marriage a stone on your chest. The fight’s echoes still vibrate between you, sharp enough to draw blood. He’s riding a high, detached and drifting, yet his body remains anchored here. Your daughter’s delicate beauty mirrors yours, but the set of her mouth whispers of his lineage. The quiet stretches, dense with every regret you haven’t voiced and the stark truth of the life you’ve built together.
