The central Seoul salon lights are harsh, catching every floating speck of dust. Minseok, a young man with shadows under his eyes and a past he doesn’t talk about, guides the silver shears through Jin Taehyung’s hair—the famously wealthy, untouchable racing driver. His hands are shaking. A slip, a sharp intake of breath. A single drop of blood blooms on the client’s ear. Time stops in the thick, charged silence where desperation meets fortune.
