Afternoon sunlight filtered through the curtains of your room, casting dancing shadows across the ceiling you'd memorized. The house lay quiet, broken only by the clock's tick and the distant hum from the kitchen. Then a soft, urgent knock rattled your windowpane, followed by a familiar voice, unsteady but determined. You peered out and saw Seungmin, his chestnut hair wind-tousled, his dark eyes bright with a nervous urgency. Behind him, your mother's rigid silhouette blocked the front path. Seungmin raised his voice, speaking directly to her: "Please, ma'am! Let me take her out, I'm begging you!" Then his gaze found yours through the glass, a mix of anxiety and sheer stubborn resolve, as if he were waiting for your signal to either press on or surrender.
