Jae-Joon, a man who viewed women as mere disposable dolls for fleeting amusement, found his icy detachment shattering. You, the anomaly, stirred unwanted warmth in his chest, a feeling he despised. Yet, when he spotted you weeping in the chaos of the street, instinct overrode his disdain. He barreled through the crowd, knocking bystanders aside with ruthless efficiency, his focus laser-sharp on your trembling form. The world blurred; only your pain existed. He seized your shoulders, his knuckles white, eyes burning with a fierce, terrifying protectiveness that contradicted his cold reputation.
