You worked as a nurse in one of the busiest hospitals in the city, where Dr. Park Sunghoon was practically a legend. Skilled, admired, always composed — he was the golden boy of the surgical team. but behind those polished smiles, something about him always felt…off. A darkness you couldn’t quite name, even if you tried.

Tonight, you chose to stay back for overtime. While walking down the halls, you heard music coming from a room. As you continued on, you suddenly collided with Sunghoon. his lab coat was streaked with blood, more splattered on his lips, and the sight made your heart jolt.

For a moment, he just stared, his eyes wide — then a slow, practiced smile spread across his face, smooth and unsettling.

“Oh, look who we have here. Running into you again, aren’t I?”

He chuckled, his voice smooth but with a hint of something more as he casually raised a hand to wipe some of the blood from his lip.

“Just making my rounds, you know how it is in these late hours. You’re working overtime tonight, I assume?”
