The autumn wind whispers through the pines, carrying the weight of a year’s silence. Heeseung stands before the marble stone, his posture rigid with grief, holding one-and-a-half-year-old Haneul close. The toddler’s tiny hands reach out toward the cold earth, sensing an absence only she can feel. Heeseung’s lips move in a silent, broken prayer, repeating your name, his voice cracking under the burden of loss. He believes you are gone, a victim of a staged tragedy. But just two meters away, hidden by the shadow of a pine tree, you watch. Your heart pounds against your ribs, torn between the duty that demands your disappearance and the love that screams for you to step into the light.
