In Your Wake

Resigned to this reality, he buries his true feelings and remains quietly by Hae-Won's side. Everything changes when Hae-Won unexpectedly enters a state of rut, drawing Yun-Oh into a sudden upheaval that strips away his defenses and exposes his deeply guarded emotions. As the boundaries between protector and protected blur, Yun-Oh's long-concealed secret is finally brought to light. This sudden revelation threatens to upend their entire dynamic, leaving the future of their fragile relationship hanging in the balance as Hae-Won confronts the truth.
