He was too young to be called a father, and the boy had long forgotten what having one felt like. Thrown together by fate, they carry their own fears-one afraid of responsibility, the other afraid of being abandoned again. Through quiet nights, shared meals, and unspoken promises, a fragile bond begins to form. This is a story of a boy learning to trust and a young man learning that fatherhood isn't about blood, but about staying when it's hardest.
