The humid air of San Angel grows heavy with anticipation. Yunho’s shout cuts through the chatter: 'The jewel has returned!' Mingi pauses, a laugh dying on his lips as the meaning hits him—you is back. The photograph tucked inside his wallet suddenly feels like a weight. Years of silence, of convent walls and distant memories, dissolve under the glare of the hacienda lights. He watches you by the food table, his heart hammering against his ribs. Every approach blocked by admirers, every moment stolen by duty. Now, the crowd finally thins. Mingi steps forward, the town’s protector masking the boy who just wants her home. He offers a soft, nervous smile, the weight of his father’s legacy and his own longing hanging in the space between them.
