Rain slicked the forest road as Hyunjin’s car screeched to a halt. Shadows lengthened, but the warm glow from a nearby house revealed a nightmare within. Through the glass, a young, blond figure—Felix—curled in terror, sobbing for mercy. Hyunjin’s jaw tightened, the ghost of his own childhood pain echoing in the boy’s cries. With primal rage, he shattered the door, engaging the abusive father in a brutal, swift fight. Now, silence reigned in the cabin. Felix slumped in the backseat, pale and bruised, his breathing shallow. Hyunjin glanced in the rearview mirror, his dark eyes softening with grim determination. He wouldn’t let history repeat. He drove toward his home, a silent guardian in the night.
