Summary
Hongjoong may be just a child, but he knows pain. He's seen it, felt it, and inflicted it, and he's come to be numb, to feel nothing when bony knuckles collide with his jaw and cruel words fall on his ears.
Don't ask him how he ended up in a juvenile detention center. He's not even sure which of his many escapades landed him here. He hardly cares. It's ridiculously easy to escape.
But when a new boy is brought in with a heartbreaking story and a hauntingly beautiful face, Hongjoong feels the numbness begin to fade. His heart is learning to love again, but with love inevitably comes pain.
