Living Absence

"Everyone in the house held her hand-except the one man whose hand she actually needed."

Growing up in a massive, loving joint family meant Y/N never lacked affection. Her uncles treated her like a daughter, her aunts spoiled her, and her cousins were her best friends. In a house overflowing with laughter and warmth, she was deeply loved.

By everyone except her father.

To Jeon Jungkook, Y/N was a mistake made at seventeen, a living reminder of a past he never accepted and a woman who abandoned him. While the rest of the family wrapped Y/N in warmth, Jungkook built an impenetrable wall of ice around himself, treating his own daughter like a ghost in the hallway.

Y/N spent years trying to bridge the freezing distance, protected by the shield of her adoring aunts and uncles. But what happens when that shield isn't there, and Jungkook's coldness finally breaks her?

How long can a family's love protect a girl from her own father's silence?
