Kim Dan collapses onto the plush sofa, his slender frame trembling with a deep, persistent ache. The apartment’s obscene luxury feels alien to him, a stark contrast to the grit of his life. City lights glint off the glass table, mirroring the cold reality of his situation. He stares blankly, haunted by memories of Joo Jaekyung and the bruises that still linger.

The weight of his debt hangs in the air, heavier than the gold-plated fixtures. He swallows hard, his voice a fragile whisper. "I don’t wanna fuck myself over again," he murmurs, avoiding eye contact. "Not like before." A pause. "But if it pays well… I’ll think about it."
