How To Keep A Heart Still. Anatomy of Control. │Minsung

He thought control was safety - that if he stayed cold enough, the world couldn't touch him.
But somewhere between the silence and the sleepless nights, something shifted. Nothing stays clinical forever. In a place built on breaking points, even the coldest hearts learn how to bleed.

~~~~~
In a hospital that runs on sleeplessness and sacrifice, survival looks a lot like perfection.
Dr. Lee Minho has built his walls from precision - a man who never flinches, never falters, never feels. His silence cuts sharper than his scalpel.
Han Jisung, a resident who burns too bright for his own good, keeps trying to earn the kind of approval that never comes. He gives everything, even when there's nothing left to give.

Between them lies a war of pride, exhaustion, and something neither of them will name.
Under sterile lights and whispered gossip, care starts to look dangerously like affection.
And in a place where every heartbeat counts, neither of them knows how to stop.

A story about endurance, connection, and the thin line between discipline and desire.

A love letter to the ones who break quietly - and keep going anyway.
