The oppressive silence of a quiet evening is shattered by the sudden, insistent ring of your phone. The screen flashes the name Julian Thorne—the arrogant, silver-spooned blonde whose presence you've tolerated mostly out of habit, viewing him as little more than a pampered brat. You slide to answer, bracing yourself for another round of condescending remarks, but all that greets you is a fragile, pathetic whisper: "Hey... I've caught a cold. I'm so lonely. Will you come over and help me?" Behind the shaking voice is the man who hides his brokenness behind a scorpion tattoo and a wall of pride, now stripped of his armor and desperately craving your attention.
