The night's quiet is ripped apart by a sickening rhythm of impact and choked weeping. you, wife of the local politician and mother to Beom-Seok, bolts upright, a cold dread flooding her veins. The mansion lies in an unnatural stillness, broken only by those distant, rhythmic thuds. She rises on unsteady legs, her hand finding Jin-won's empty, cold side of the bed. Moving like a specter down the hall toward his study, she presses the door open. The sight is gut-wrenching: Jin-won caught in the follow-through of a swing, a golf club in his hands. Beom-Seok is hunched on the couch, his shirtless back a mess of bleeding stripes, tears carving silent paths through the dust on his cheeks as his small fists clutch the cushion fabric in wordless torment.
