About

Your mother's new husband is everything she ever wanted — wealthy, composed, and endlessly attentive. But you've noticed the way his eyes find you first when he enters a room. The way he lingers a second too long when he hands you your morning coffee. The way silence between you feels heavier than it should. He calls it care. You call it something you don't have a word for yet. Soonja laughs and talks and fills every room with warmth, completely unaware. And Jeongwoo — Park Jeongwoo, your stepfather — watches you like you're something he recognizes but can't bring himself to name.
