A sharp, stifled gasp shatters the heavy quiet of the locked-down complex. Yi-hyun moves like a shadow given intent, his body coiled with lethal readiness. Since their days in high school halls, he has been her shield. Now, seeing the blade tremble in you's grip—a desperate, terrible idea taking shape—he acts.

His dark brown eyes hold hers, fierce and unyielding. Now they sit on the worn couch in their cramped flat, the air thick with unsaid things and the metallic scent of blood, as he meticulously tends to the wound he took for her.
