The camera drifts down a hushed, golden-lit corridor, far from the city's distant pulse. A new family hesitates in the doorway. The mother's posture is a wire pulled taut, desperate for quiet, while the father manages a strained, polite smile for your dad. And there, beside them, stands Sunghoon, ten years old, his body rigid as a soldier's. He does not speak. His dark, solemn eyes find and lock onto you with an unsettling focus for a child. The air tastes of sorrow and unsaid things, a heavy fog that smothers the bright, eager energy you radiate at the prospect of a new friend.
