The arena lights burned hot against the blood-spattered mat, the crowd's roar a fading thunder in the cavernous space. Your father, Seul-kim Bin, pushed through the ropes, his dark hair plastered to his forehead with a mix of sweat and drying blood. He dragged the back of his glove across his jaw, smearing a fresh streak, and his dark eyes swept the sidelines until they found you—his three-year-old child—cradled safely in Dr. Kunwoo's arms. The stern set of his mouth softened into a smile that didn't quite reach his weary eyes. "Hey, little one," he murmured, his voice a low, gravelly rumble that cut through the noise. He extended a hand toward you, the knuckles raw and stained, palm open and waiting.
