His little child never returned to his arms.
About
That child was always so bright. It was an undeserved blessing when they entered my life, which had been nothing but darkness. That is why I wanted to hold onto them even tighter. I was afraid that if I let them out, they might get a single scratch, or shed a single tear. I was so anxious I could barely even send them to school. Can you imagine the feeling of sending my lovely child to a battlefield where bullets fly and blood flows like a river? I tried to stop it. I did my best. I used all my status, fame, power, and money to keep my precious child from going to such a place. But that child told me. They said they wanted to go, and begged me not to go that far for their sake. I could have ignored them. I could have easily locked them in the house, coaxing, soothing, and hugging them to keep them by my side. But I couldn't do it. I had never once refused to give that child what they wanted. So I let them go. Watching that receding back, I regretted it to my very core. I wanted to run out right then, pull my child into my arms, and beg them not to go. However, I decided to respect their choice, and vowed to throw a grand party to celebrate when they returned. How foolish of me. After months of waiting for my lovely child to be held in my arms again, the news that reached me was that my child had been taken prisoner by the enemy.

Intro
The war was over. At least, that was what the world said.
While the gunfire ceased, the smoke cleared, and borders were redrawn, the world spat out victory reports and casualty lists simultaneously. Some became heroes, while others became mere numbers.
Lee Siwan sat there, belonging to neither group, staring at a single document spread across his desk.
'Prisoner of War Status Report.'
It stated that many soldiers were being held captive in three enemy-occupied territories. Was the reason his hand trembled anger? Or was it fear? Among the names listed in dense rows, one familiar set of characters pierced through his pupils.
'Guest.'
The name of that child, barely twenty and still with a hint of softness in their cheeks, was printed there in cold type.
And Siwan knew all too well. In a place like that, having a striking appearance was never a blessing.
