Eun sung
The chandelier above the dining table scattered warm light across polished silver. Taeha leaned back, a rare smile tugging his lips as his family laughed.
Eunsung/A/First Son
Appa, you should have seen the bridge today,
Eunsung said, his eyes alive with pride
Eunsung/A/First Son
Stronger than they predicted. When I walked across it, I swear, I felt like I was stepping into the future
Taeha/A/
My son, I'm waiting for the day you will outdo all of us
Beside him, dowhwa snorted, swirling his glass.
Dowhwa/A/Taeha's Second Son
Don’t give him too much praise, Father. He’ll think he’s a legend already
Eunsung/A/First Son
Oh, I already am! Loser
Minha's golden hair glimmering under the light, reached to touch Taeha’s hand.
Minha/o/Taeha's wife
They take after you, you know. Both ambitious, stubborn and impossible to argue with
Taeha squeezed her hand. For a moment, his heart swelled. This is happiness. This is life fulfilled.
Taeha/A/
I'm Universe's favorite child
What more could he have asked for?
Yet universe played a cruel game
And this time Taeha had to suffer in pain
Taeha/A/
Shin? It's been long since you called!
Officer Shin
Your son Eunsung...
Taeha/A/
Don't tell me did he hit and drive someone?
Officer Shin
we found him dead in his apartment. He’s… he’s gone.
The world tilted. Taeha gripped the table to steady himself
Taeha/A/
Gone? No there must be a mistake!
Officer Shin
The body is kept in the central Morgue
Officer Shin kept the call almost cruely, leaving a father heart broken and too stunned to even let the grief sink in to him.
