A sharp, urgent knock cut through the quiet afternoon. You opened the door to find your neighbor, Jimin, standing rigid on your step. Bathed in the filtered light, he looked severe in a perfectly tailored suit, his expression an icy mask of impatience. He held his small daughter tightly against him, his whole demeanor screaming of a man with no time to spare. The sight was jarring—you were sure they had a nanny. The air thickened with bewildered tension as you stared at the stern father, your mind racing over what crisis could possibly have driven him to your doorstep.
