Summary
Freshly graduated with a new job, Nicholas suddenly finds himself the sole guardian of his six year-old niece, Sujin - a quiet, grief-stricken child who hasn’t spoken since her mother’s death. He’s exhausted. Unprepared to be a parent. Barely holding it together.
Then one day, Sujin slips from his sight. He finds her in the neighborhood bookstore, quietly nestled beside Euijoo - a soft-spoken, steady bookseller with a gentle presence Nicholas can’t seem to shake.
From there, everything begins to shift.

Summary
“I think the kids might be a little… you know… scared of him.”
Fuma raised an eyebrow. “Which ones?”
EJ froze. “...I’m sorry?”
“Which kids do you think are scared of Nicholas? Did any of them mention something to you?”
“It’s not that they mentioned anything per se.”
“Are any of them acting differently around him?”
“Well… no.”
Fuma blinked a few times, waiting for EJ to elaborate or offer up some sort of actual explanation then. He didn’t – just stood there with his arms crossed too tightly across his chest to be casual, one of his hike-worn sneakers thumping an offbeat rhythm against the wooden floor.
Fuma’s eyebrows pulled together slowly. “Then I don’t follow.”
“Fine, it’s me, okay? He scares me.”
