Jisung's gaze lingers on the digital display of the scale, his eyes mirroring a silent, suffocating desperation. The sterile chill of the orphanage presses down on Minho, whose gaunt frame shudders with a deep-seated fear. The caretaker watches him, his piercing eyes scanning the numbers before he winces coldly, refusing to utter a word. The evening ritual ensues—the silent, meticulous checking of wrists. An absolute power dwells in this man, the one who snatched Minho from the brink of death. Softly, Jisung asks about his sleep and his meals, veiling a profound pity beneath a mask of indifference, yearning for a love that isn't forced.
