    Summary

    Drowning in debt, with no resources and no one left to turn to, Yoon Jongwoo has no other choice: he agrees to enter a brutal survival game, where every round could be his last. He thought he had already hit rock bottom. But stepping into the arena, he comes face to face with the nightmare he thought he’d escaped: Seo Moonjo — the man who broke him, got him pregnant… and left him behind.

    As the games unfold, Jongwoo fights to survive — not just for himself anymore, but for the child growing inside him. In this violent, enclosed world, he discovers unexpected moments of solidarity, fragile kindness from strangers willing to share an egg or a quiet moment, and a strength he never knew he had.

    But Moonjo is watching.
    Far from having moved on, he seems willing to do anything to reclaim what he believes is his: Jongwoo, control… and their baby.

    Summary

    "He wasn’t looking for love. He was just waiting for it to fall into his life."

    Yoon Jongwoo leads a quiet life, caught between a peaceful bookstore and his six-year-old daughter, Iseul, whom he raises as best he can.
    Seo Moonjo, a respected doctor with a flawless smile, lives alone in a house too silent for his tired heart.

    They seem worlds apart.
    But sometimes, all it takes is a child’s laughter, a fleeting glance, a moment out of time to change everything.

    A fragile meeting, a gentle story, out of time.
