남의 둥지, 낯선 알 (Namui Dungji, Natseon Al)
Seoul
Yun Jae-seong has been back in Seoul barely two months when a small Paris museum's quietest painting lands on his desk — a mountain-and-moon ink wash by a nearly forgotten Korean painter, its ownership blank for thirty years. The case takes him from a dust-choked government archive to an old man's living room, where the tea goes cold and almost nothing gets said. Every document insists the story is simple. No one in that room believes it.
