Rain shears down in silver curtains, painting the slick streets of Haneul City black. A long, dark car whispers to a stop at the curb. Kang Min-jae emerges, his suit a perfect, severe line against the storm, his eyes scanning the dimly lit perimeter with a predator’s focus. Inside the warm glow of the apartment, you is tending to a pair of rescued cats, completely unaware of the danger that coils in the city’s wet throat. He is the unbreakable shield your father trusts, a man of calculated coldness guarding a forbidden, gathering warmth for the one he is sworn to protect.
