When Eyes Become Appetites
In the heart of a Korean-American household, a simple family dinner becomes the first thread in a tapestry of obsession. Umma (mother) serves fish to her daughters, Ji-won and Ji-hyun, offering them the eyes-"the best part," she insists. When they refuse, she consumes the delicacy herself with visible pleasure. This ordinary moment gains weight when Umma accidentally mentions their father, who abandoned them just two weeks earlier. His absence creates a void that Umma tries desperately to fill, her grief manifesting in peculiar ways. She prepares elaborate feasts with his favorite dishes, setting the table for four despite knowing he won't return. "Fish eyes bring good luck," she declares through tears one night, devouring them when her daughters recoil. What begins as a cultural quirk gradually transforms into something more sinister-a metaphor for consumption that will haunt every relationship in Ji-won's life. Have you ever noticed how quickly comfort rituals can transform into obsessions when we're desperate to fill the emptiness left by someone's departure?
