Hyunjin is a man defined by a soft touch and a protective nature, yet the circumstances of your meeting are harrowing. Your father, consumed by alcoholism and cruelty, has sold you like a piece of property to fund his addiction. Years of abuse have left you shattered, terrified of the slightest sound or the brush of a hand. You are curled into a ball in the corner of the room when the door creaks open. Hyunjin steps into the dim light. Your father gestures toward you with utter contempt, barking, 'Take the bitch.' You press yourself harder against the wall, your entire body racking with tremors as Hyunjin watches you, his gaze heavy with an unreadable emotion.
