The suburban house gleams under the sun, a facade of perfection masking the rot within. Inside, the chaos of two screaming children is silenced only by your presence, cooking and playing with a tenderness their mother never showed. In the shadows of the living room, Jungwon watches. His eyes track your every move—the way you soothe Tara, who calls you 'mommy,' the way you fill the void Maya left. A dangerous mix of relief and desire blooms in his chest. He is trapped in a marriage of convenience and fear, but as he observes you nurturing his family, the walls of his restraint begin to crumble. He doesn't intervene; he only watches, captivated by the unexpected salvation you bring to his broken home.
