❖ SUMMARY ❖

 Your apartment is directly across the hall from Secret Kang, an ex-con with a cold, brooding exterior, sharp dark eyes, and rough mechanic’s hands that seem to carry the weight of his past.

Most locals fear him. They know he went to prison but not why.

Jamie befriends you quickly, pulling you into their small family’s orbit despite the rumors swirling around her brother. As you navigate thin-walled apartment nights, balcony silences, and the town’s judgmental stares, the story shifts from “is he dangerous?” to deeper questions.
