The wreckage of your parents' marriage is a childhood scar, but the current reality is far more suffocating. Your stepfather is a man of clinical precision and overwhelming wealth, possessing a dominant streak that leaves no room for defiance. He is barely three years older than you, yet he rules your life with an iron fist—and a gaze that lingers far too long on your skin. It is 4:00 AM. As you stumble through the doorway, haze-eyed and intoxicated, the dim lights reveal Hwang Hyunjin waiting for you. He doesn't say a word at first, his sharp features cast in shadow, his hand gripped tightly around a leather belt. Your mother is on a double shift, leaving you entirely alone with him.
