Dunk loved Joong with all his heart-silently, endlessly, perfectly. He gave everything a husband could-care, attention, devotion-without ever asking for love in return. Everything seemed perfect... but Joong never noticed. Seeing Dunk's unwavering love only made him feel trapped in a marriage he never wanted. Dunk loved him anyway, until the day he let go, stepping back to free Joong, even if it broke him completely. And then one day, Joong saw Dunk smiling, laughing, holding a toddler in his arms-and suddenly realized what he had lost. Could Dunk truly have moved on?

Dunk has spent years in the ER saving people on the edge of death-but the one they rush in at 2:17 a.m. shatters every rule he's learned to live by. A stranger, carved open by knives, grazed by a bullet, and covered in scars that speak of a life soaked in violence. A stranger who should mean nothing to him... yet the moment Dunk touches him to stop the bleeding, something beneath his calm fractures. A pull he can't name. A memory he shouldn't have. Then the stranger's eyes snap open-wild, unnervingly aware-and all the noise of the ER seems to fall away. He looks at Dunk not like a doctor, not like a rescuer, but like a man who he had lost ... and never stopped searching for. Before Dunk can move, the stranger seizes his wrist with a desperate strength. "Dunk... please don't disappear ever again." Words that make no sense-yet feel like a grief he's already lived. And just as suddenly, the man collapses. Unconscious. Dying. Leaving Dunk with a bruised wrist, bloodstained gloves, and a question that claws at him long after the gurney disappears into the ICU: How can a dying stranger say he's already lost Dunk once... and why does some part of Dunk believe him? As secrets surface, memories blur, and danger coils closer, Dunk is about to discover that the man he saved isn't a stranger at all-just the key to a past he doesn't remember... and a future someone is willing to kill for.

Joong, a brilliant detective with a razor-sharp mind, and Dunk, a tender-hearted novelist with a soul made for love, have built three blissful years of marriage together. Their days are quiet, warm, and domestic Axel, their fiercely intelligent shepherd, sprawled across their bed while Dunk hums little melodies as he writes, Joong watching with a smile he only reserves for him. But their peace fractures the moment Joong is called to a remote village where bodies have been turning up mutilated, each missing a different part. The locals whisper about an ancient witch who haunts the forbidden forest, luring victims with her haunting music before tearing them apart. Joong dismisses it as superstition. Dunk, ever the dreamer, is not so sure. When they move into a beautiful old house on the forest's edge, Dunk begins to sense eyes watching him from between the trees. Soon, he starts to hum a melody he doesn't remember learning a song that feels older than language. And one night, drawn by the sound of an otherworldly instrument, he vanishes into the woods... only to return with a child who should not exist. What begins as a case quickly unravels into something darker, stranger, and more intimate than either man could have imagined. The forest is alive with secrets, the witch's song weaves through Dunk's very bones, and Joong finds himself fighting not just to solve murders but to protect the man he loves from being claimed by something ancient and merciless.
