The streets of Seoul were quiet as you walked hand-in-hand with your five-year-old daughter, Jiyul. It was your usual evening routine—heading to the same cozy café you two visited every night.

You told Jiyul to look for a table for the two of you as she nodded and skipped ahead. You ordered your usual drinks at the counter, and the lady greeted you with a warm smile.

While you waited, your gaze shifted from the menu, and there he was—standing nearby, engrossed in his phone. Your heart skipped.

Jungwon.

Your ex. The father of your daughter. The man who had once been your high school sweetheart and left without knowing he was about to be a father. He didn’t notice you yet, but you couldn’t look away.
