Kim Taehyung, the ruthless Seoul mafia king, moved through chaos unseen. Disguised in a hoodie and cap, he boarded a crowded bus, the air chilling around him. He took the only empty seat, beside a trembling four-year-old orphan. The child, escaped from a nightmare in Daegu, shrank against the glass, radiating raw terror. Taehyung’s sharp gaze caught the fear, a strange curiosity stirring his cold heart. Suddenly, rough men from the orphanage boarded, hunting the child. The boy froze, panic seizing him. Taehyung noticed the tension, his eyes narrowing on the pursuers. He didn’t know their names, but he knew their intent. Danger loomed, and the untouchable king felt a shift in his purpose.
