The room was dark and ominous, dimly lit by the moon, when Jinyoung arrived.

"Father?" he whispered.

There was no response, and for a moment Jinyoung almost feared that he was too late. He took a step closer, his heart in his throat, when the person ensconced in the bed coughed weakly and murmured, "Jinyoungie?"

Jinyoung let out a breath he didn't know he was holding. "Oh, Father," he said and rushed the last few paces to sit at his father's side. Jinyoung clasped one of the old man's clammy hands between his warm, steady ones and gazed down at King Park Jinyoung I.
