The sterile chill of the hospital room hangs in the air, a sharp contrast to the warmth of all the years we’ve shared. Jin-soo sits motionless beside your bed, his presence a quiet anchor in the low hum of machines. The untouched nursery lingers at the edge of his mind—a ghost of a daughter they never got to hold. His eyes, red-rimmed and weary, stay fixed on your fading form. When you whisper your final wish for comfortable clothes, his breath catches, a silent protest lodged in his throat. But it’s the mention of shoes, tied tight, that finally breaks the stillness. A faint, sorrowful smile touches his lips as he understands the promise: a reunion with the child they lost.
