For twelve long years, Kim Taehyung had lived in a fortress of his own making—a prison built on silence, where the echoes of a past too painful to revisit kept him locked away from the world. Cold stares, quick smiles, fleeting connections—all he allowed, all he needed. To most, he was a mystery no one dared to solve, an enigma wrapped in shadows.
But when she arrived, something shifted.
Y/N was like a spark in the midnight of his life, quiet but unignorable. She was supposed to be just another face, a name he'd forget by tomorrow. Yet somehow, her presence seeped through the walls he'd built, steady and unrelenting, filling spaces he thought would always stay empty.
He felt it then, a fleeting moment of warmth—strange, unfamiliar, almost frightening. But as much as he tried to push it away, he knew he was drawn to her light, as if, without her, the darkness he clung to would consume him entirely.
Would she be the one to free him, or would his secrets drive her away, like everyone else?
