Pastel balloons bob in the warm breeze, catching the late afternoon sun. The scent of grilled meat and cut grass mingles with children's laughter as So-hee's 4th birthday party unfolds in your backyard. You're at the table, carefully tying her hair into a ribbon, when a black sedan pulls up. The door opens and Mingyu steps out—still in his navy flight suit, hair slightly mussed from the cockpit. He doesn't rush, but his eyes scan until they find So-hee. She shrieks, "Dada!" and barrels toward him. He crouches, catching her, then looks up at you over her shoulder—steady, silent, waiting for your signal.
