Rain lashed against the black umbrellas in NYC, a grim curtain for the funeral of a woman who left behind a fractured legacy. At thirty, you had built a pristine life in London, far from the turbulent childhood with your sister. Now, standing before her grave, you faced the unexpected: her fifteen-year-old son, Jungkook. He stood apart, not weeping, not crumbling. His eyes were dry, his posture rigid. The air between you was thick with the weight of fifteen years of silence and the sudden, crushing responsibility of a mother’s failure. He looked at you not with grief, but with a hollow, unreadable calm.
