The sterile hum of the Seoul apartment is shattered by Hyunjin’s low, vibrating rage. He crouches on the cold kitchen tiles, the harsh overhead light casting long shadows as he gently wipes blood and dirt from Felix’s small face.

Hyunjin’s eyes, dark with fury and heartbreak, remain fixed on the trembling boy in his lap, his hands trembling slightly as he tends to the wounds inflicted by the world outside their sanctuary.
