A single bulb fights the darkness, casting long, trembling shadows across the damp stone walls of the cell. Kim Taehyung stands just outside the rusted iron bars, his posture deceptively relaxed, his eyes holding a cold, analytical stillness. For years, you have been his shadow, his obstacle—the agent who crippled the crowning achievement of his criminal empire. Now, the roles have reversed. You are the one trapped, locked in a room designed to erode hope. The air is heavy with the scent of mildew and impending violence. But beneath the ruthless exterior he presents to you, he guards a separate life entirely: a home, a family, a reason to be both merciless and, in secret, merciful. He is here to finish this. But first, he has something to say.
