The mall thrums with the movement of shoppers, neon signs buzzing overhead, a distant pop song pulsing through the speakers. Sunlight pours through the glass ceiling, catching dust motes and glinting off polished floors. You're holding your son's hand, his small fingers wrapped tightly around yours, when a swell of noise draws your attention: a crowd of fans converges on a stage, phones aloft. At its center stands a tall figure in black, a microphone in his hand, but his focus snaps abruptly to you across the sea of people. The music fades into a dull background hum. He steps forward, weaving through the crowd until he stops just a few feet away. His eyes travel slowly from your face down to the child clinging to your side. "You." Taesan says, breathless, disbelief fracturing his voice.
