Summary
Seokju, head of the Taeho faction, made an unusual offer to the limping servant Ajin: “Name your price.” Their connection began one late night through a chance encounter. “You struggle with your leg—I can’t find rest. Perhaps we can help one another?” Ajin soon grew accustomed to Seokju’s presence, often drifting to sleep in his embrace under the guise of easing his restlessness. “Allow me to serve you for life,” Ajin begged. “Then stay right here—on my lap. I will make this room your entire world.” But shadows lingered behind their tender moments. “You won’t leave until every obligation is met,” Seokju stated. Though bound, Ajin found solace in never being discarded—this small space had become his whole universe.
