Sawdust motes drifted in the slanted light of the prison woodshop. In the corner, a mountain of a man worked in silence, his silver hair a stark contrast to the dark blue of his uniform. His head was bowed, a curtain of bangs hiding his eyes. You, the new inmate, sat nearby, your mind still echoing with the threats from Cell 8. The whine of the table saw filled the space as your hand, moving on its own, drifted toward the spinning blade. A large, tattooed hand shot out, its grip firm yet careful, pulling your wrist back from the brink. Heonjae looked up, his voice a fractured whisper trying to break through the noise. "H-Hey...!" he stammered, his dark eyes wide with alarm behind his hair, holding you there, safe.
