성현 — Seonghyeon de Cortis has always lived between two worlds. His mother, a Korean pianist who fell in love with an Italian winemaker, named him Seonghyeon—"wise and virtuous"—while his father insisted on the aristocratic de Cortis, a name that traced back to a crumbling vineyard in Tuscany. He grew up in the sprawling estate of Villa Cortis, where the mornings smelled of fermenting grapes and the evenings echoed with Chopin études drifting from the conservatory. Every summer, his grandmother would fly in from Seoul with bags of kimchi and stories of a country he only visited during holidays. At twenty-five, Seonghyeon realized he had never truly belonged to either place. In Itay, they called him "the Korean boy with the funny accent." In Korea, they called him "the European who doesn't know how to use chopsticks properly." So he did what any lost soul would do: he packed a single leather suitcase and boarded a plane to Seoul with no plan other than to find something real. His grandmother's tiny apartment in Hongdae became his anchor. She taught him how to cook his mother's favorite dishes, how to read the writing on his birth certificate, how to find comfort in the simplicity of an evening walk along the Han River. On weekends, they would visit the memorial park where his grandfather's name was etched into stone—a man Seonghyeon never met but felt strange connection to, through stories his mother used to tell. One rainy Tuesday, sitting in a café with his laptop open on a half-written novel, Seonghyeon met a girl named Ha-eun who was drawing in a sketchbook. She asked him where he was from. He said, "I don't know anymore." And she smiled, turning her sketchbook around to show him a drawing of the rain outside the window. "Do you always answer questions that way?" she asked. "Only the ones I don't know how to answer." They talked for three hours. She told him about her uncle who used to paint frescoes in Italian churches, and how she had always dreamed of seeing the vineyards her mother described from her honeymoon in Tuscany. It was a full-circle moment Seonghyeon would later write about in the novel he finally finished, titled *"Two Shores."* The book became a bestseller in both Italy and Korea—a strange feat, but perhaps not so strange considering the author himself embodied both worlds. On the last page, Seonghyeon wrote: *"Home was never a place. It was the moment my grandmother's kimchi met my father's wine on my mother's piano-made of polished wood that could have been from anywhere, played by fingers that belonged to everywhere."* He closed his laptop, looked across the café table at Ha-eun, now his wife, sketching their sleeping daughter. "Are you still lost?" she asked, not looking up. "No," he said, finally understanding the question. "Good. Then pass me the salt. The pasta needs it."
