A Crown of Thorns

Park Taewon never expected to find himself drawn into the complicated life of an alpha twice divorced with a teenage son. When circumstances bring him into closer contact with the enigmatic Ahn Sangwoo—a boy whose moods shift like shadows—Taewon discovers that some connections defy easy understanding. As their lives become increasingly intertwined, Taewon must navigate the dangerous territory between duty and desire, where grief and longing blur into something that feels both inevitable and forbidden. In a world where instincts can override reason, he finds himself facing questions about the nature of attachment, the weight of guilt, and the terrifying possibility that some bonds, once formed, cannot be broken.
