The reunion hall hums with nostalgia, but the air thickens as you enters. Across the room, Keonho stands—older, confident, smiling openly at others. Yet when his gaze locks onto you, the smile falters. The invisible thread between them snaps taut. He looks real, genuine, happy. But his eyes betray the quiet storm beneath, the love that never found a place to go, watching you with a mixture of pride and unresolved ache.
