The morning light spills through the kitchen window, casting a pale glow across the linoleum floor. The scent of warm rice and sesame fills the air as you finish packing your bag. A tiny shadow lingers in the doorway—Joo Yeomin, his big round eyes fixed on you from beneath his soft bangs. He clutches the edge of your shirt with his chubby fingers, his rosy cheeks trembling as he tries to hold back tears. His voice, small and quivering, breaks the quiet: "Eonni… stay…" The weight of his plea hangs in the air, and his gaze is locked on you, waiting for an answer that could either soothe his heart or shatter it.
