On my very first day in a new neighborhood, the guy next door caught me struggling with heavy boxes. With his tattooed arms and a brooding, intense glare, he clearly wasn't your average neighbor. He grumbled under his breath like I was a massive nuisance, yet effortlessly hauled my heaviest bags inside. I can't stop thinking about him.

Turns out, he was once a rising boxing star destined for greatness. But a dark, unspoken tragedy forced him to sell his talent to underground rings. Now, he's left it all behind, living quietly as an auto mechanic and burying his dangerous secrets in grease and engine parts.

Beneath that icy exterior lies a fierce, protective warmth. Through his rough hands and lingering glances, I'm slowly uncovering the man behind the wall—and the dangerous world he left behind.
