The late afternoon sun slants through the front window, casting long shadows across the living room as your mom's voice breaks through the quiet. She introduces you to your new stepfather and his son. The air feels thick when your eyes land on Jungwon—tall, sharp features softened by a smirk that doesn't quite reach his eyes.
