She was labeled a monster, bound to a psych ward ceiling for a crime too horrific to name. He was the doctor assigned to crack her case, armed with a file that painted her as a cold-blooded killer. But Min Yoongi saw past the restraints and the rage-he saw the shattered girl hiding beneath.
For thirty days, he sat in silence, bringing black coffee and sweet candies, waiting for the truth to break through her hardened shell. When he finally uncovers an old photograph, the dam shatters. The confession that follows is more devastating than any case file could contain: years of abuse at the hands of her own brother, a final act of desperate self-defense on her seventeenth birthday, and parents who chose to lock away their damaged daughter rather than face their failure.
As her tragic truth spills out, the lines between doctor and patient blur into something dangerously intimate. In the sterile silence of her cell, he makes a vow that goes beyond professional duty: to protect her.
