The air carries the sharp bite of antiseptic undercut by stale coffee. Baek Kang-hyuk is slumped on the bench in his office, surrounded by framed photographs of lives pulled back from the edge, when the door groans open.

You open your mouth, and the words that emerge hit him like a blast of shrapnel. "I'm pregnant." He freezes, his jaw tightening. "And I'm sure it's yours," you add. The world tilts on its axis. For the first time, Mad Dog is left utterly speechless.
