when his mother first whispered the truth of her pregnancy, his father’s response was as cold as the empire he built—he wanted the child erased, discarded like an inconvenient secret that could shatter his pristine reputation. but the moment he learned the baby was a boy, something shifted. instead of erasing him, he chose to mold him—his own flesh and blood, destined to be sculpted in his image: ruthless, commanding, and untouchable.

despite this so-called "mercy," his mother bore the weight of shame alone, cast aside by those who once loved her. the father she had sacrificed everything for never looked back, always away on business, always too busy to acknowledge the life he had created.

and when jaehyun finally entered the world, his fate was sealed before he even took his first breath. his father swept him away, refraining him from the woman who had given him life. his wife played the part of mother, and the truth of his real mother—her love, her existence—was buried beneath the weight of wealth and power, forgotten as if she had never been there at all.

by the time he was six, he had already been surrounded by a world of power and privilege, where nannies and butlers bowed at his every whim in place of the father who was never there. his days were dictated by private tutors—handpicked to shape him into the perfect successor, a businessman who would carry his father’s legacy. numbers, money, and strategy became his only companions, the language he was forced to master, the foundation of his existence. but this was only the beginning—the first steps toward the empire his father envisioned for him.

yet, despite the rigid control over his life, young jaehyun was never the obedient son the world assumed him to be. he longed for something beyond the cold walls of his estate, an escape from the suffocating expectations placed upon him. so, he found ways to rebel. late at night, he would slip out of his lavish prison, leaving behind pillows arranged under his blanket as a poor imitation of his sleeping form, and wander the neon-lit streets of the city alone, but freedom came with a cost. one night, his reckless curiosity led him straight into trouble with the police, forcing him to return home in disgrace. his father, upon learning of his defiance, did not respond with concern—only anger. security tightened, rules became harsher, and yet, rather than break his spirit, it only fueled his thirst for rebellion even more.

teenage years

as he grew older, that defiance transformed into something more dangerous. by his teenage years, san had become the heartbeat of the wrong crowd—the leader of a group that thrived on chaos. they prowled the streets of seoul, searching for trouble, picking fights, tormenting those who couldn't fight back. fear followed his name, whispered in the halls of his school, where students stepped aside at his mere presence. yet power, especially the kind built on destruction, always came with consequences. his so-called friends betrayed him, setting him up to break the law, leading to his first taste of a cell's lifeless walls.

even then, the weight of his father’s name kept him untouchable. his wealth turned punishments into mere inconveniences, a get-out-of-jail-free card that never failed him—until his father finally had enough. without hesitation, he was sent overseas, exiled to the united states under the guise of "education," stripped of his freedom and forced into the company of the wealthy elite. there, he learned the art of deception, the importance of appearances. when he returned to korea, he was no longer the reckless boy his father despised—he was composed, refined, and everything his father had hoped for. yet, beneath the polished exterior, behind the carefully placed smiles and the well-mannered facade, still lay the same untamed fire. the same boy who once ruled the streets—only now, he had learned how to hide the beast within.
