    Summary

    In a quiet corner of the world, where silence weighs heavier than words, he sits alone — trapped among shadows, with no clear reason why. His eyes stare into the distance, yet see nothing. His voice remains caged, locked behind walls no one can hear through.

    This is Hao, who doesn’t understand why everything around him feels like it’s surrounded by invisible barriers — why doors shut without warning, why freedom always feels just out of reach.

    And then there’s Hanbin, standing behind those very doors. Unreadable. Cold. Guarded. He protects in ways Hao cannot understand — a love laced with fear, and a silence thick with worry and pain. He confines not to hurt, but to shield. Even if the threat is the very thing that ties them together.

    Here, where protection becomes prison, and shelter feels like chains… here is where it all begins.
