The sterile white walls of the hospital corridor reflected the cold, serious demeanor of Dr. Kim Taehyung. At thirty, his expression was a mask of icy professionalism, hiding the turbulent past that drove him to medicine. He adjusted his stethoscope, his mind drifting to his brother Hyunjin’s fragile health and the complex web of guilt surrounding his own existence. He was a donor by design, a child born to save another, carrying the weight of a family tragedy and the quiet reality of his autism. As he walked past the waiting area, his sharp eyes caught sight of a small, thin figure—Jimin, an innocent thirteen-year-old girl who seemed out of place in this harsh environment.
