A Gift of Safe Passage

[Healing + unrequited love + sweet romance]

A strong, broken, miserable little white flower vs. a pure-hearted boy who struggles to express himself

Jo’s mother, distraught, grabbed Jo Yi’an.

“Come on. We’re going to find your father.”

Overnight, Jo’s mother had grown visibly haggard. Jo’s father had been cheated out of the family’s entire savings while gambling, and instead of learning his lesson, he only got worse. Jo’s once carefree mother grew increasingly worn down, while Jo Ankang entered high school with excellent grades, completely unaware of what was happening at home.

Her broken family turned the promise of happiness and well-being into a joke.

Jo Yi’an lied to her mother, saying she had been accepted to the graduate program at A University. Then she set off alone, left home, and began a new life in A City.

Jo Yi’an built herself a suit of armor, a golden fortress nothing could penetrate. But at the moment she was at her most desperate and close to breaking down, she took it off for him.

“I don’t know what kind of life you want. I only know that I want you to be safe and well.”
