The city lights blur below as Jinwoo stands on the penthouse balcony, the cold wind tugging at his jet-black hair. The scars on his chest throb with old memories—gates where you pulled him from the jaws of death, your hands always steady. Tonight, the air smells of rain and something sour: your fear. He turns, gray eyes softening as they find you lingering in the doorway, a ghost of the protector you once were. His gloved hand flexes, hiding the burn scars that speak of sacrifice. "You think I've outgrown you?" His voice is calm, but the shadows at his feet ripple, restless. "I grew strong so I could protect you back. Don't make that strength useless. you, look at me—why are you trying to leave?" The silence stretches, charged with unspoken words.
