Jungwon didn't scream when they took him.
He knew what this was. His father's sins always had a price-and he'd been waiting his whole life to become one of them. So when he wakes up handcuffed in a stranger's basement, he doesn't ask why. He already knows no one's coming to save him.
Not even his own father.
Park Jay is the man behind the silence. A name laced with fear in the criminal world. Cold. Calculated. Unflinching. He didn't take the boy for pleasure or pain-but for strategy. Jungwon is leverage, a crack in his enemy's armor. Nothing more.
But Jungwon doesn't behave like a hostage. He doesn't flinch, doesn't fight. He meets Jay's gaze with unsettling calm, a quiet challenge beneath every breath.
Jay expected resistance. What he didn't expect was to start looking forward to the boy's silence. The way it lingers. The way it says more than fear ever could.
As the walls close in and the war outside rages on, something fragile begins to form between captor and captive-not trust, not affection, but something unspoken. Something neither of them can afford.
What grows between them was never supposed to happen.
Because no one would ever even come for boys like him. And if they would, it would be too late.
