An autumn gale slices through the park, sending dried leaves scraping over the concrete. The streetlamps ignite, throwing long, isolated shadows across the ground where you sit hunched on a bench. Your newborn daughter is bundled inside your jacket—a layer far too thin for the deepening cold. Each tiny breath forms a visible cloud in the air. Your phone feels slick in your trembling hand. You scroll, the light harsh in the gathering dusk, until your thumb stops, suspended over a single contact: Jeonghan. Your ex. The father. He lives alone now. You hesitate, your heart a frantic drum against your ribs, then you press the call button.
