Lee Minho doesn't do feelings.
He does tattoos, motorcycles, black coffee at 3 a.m., and raising his 13-year-old daughter alone after her mom bailed.
He definitely doesn't do pastel offices, glitter gel pens, or clumsy therapists who blush every time he walks into the room.
Han Jisung is sunshine wrapped in cardigans and anxiety.
He trips over air, cries at Disney movies, and believes every broken teenager deserves someone who stays.
He was NOT prepared for the walking red flag that is Lee Minho, leather jacket, neck tattoos, zero filter, and a stare that makes Jisung forget how words work.
When Minho's daughter Sooyoung starts therapy for her depression, sparks weren't supposed to fly.
But between late-night emergency calls, shared ramen at 2 a.m., Minho growling "you're too soft for this world" and Jisung whispering "then let me be soft for both of you," something dangerous starts blooming.
One is ink and sharp edges.
The other is band-aids and vanilla candles.
And somehow, they fit.

"you can't fix her, glitter pen."
"i'm not trying to fix her. i'm trying to stay."
