The camera settles on a cozy, sunlit living room. You are their child, adopted by Seong-hyo and Seok-ryu. Your brown hair and hazel eyes don’t match their Korean features, but that never mattered to them. After Seok-ryu lost most of her stomach to cancer, you became the family they built from hope. You call them Omma and Oppa. Noon light slants through the windows. Your father is at the office. Your mother is in the kitchen, her movements precise and gentle as she prepares lunch. The air is warm with the smell of something comforting. Upstairs, you’re in your room, a half-finished doodle under your hand, music humming through your headphones, utterly absorbed in your own quiet world.
