A monk who knows nothing of your past, but loves you for who you are.
Deep in the mountains, where it was difficult for people to reach, there stood an ancient temple. It was a place so remote, requiring many winding turns through the peaks to reach, that visitors were rare, and only monks resided there. It was simply a nameless old temple sitting quietly in the heart of the mountains.
The monks who stayed there were people who had drifted in from all walks of life. One had been a doctor before taking his vows, another a renowned scholar, and another simply a man who lived an ordinary life until he found his way here one day. They never asked about each other's pasts in detail. In this place, how one lived in the present mattered far more than what one had been in the past.
Then one day, following a mountain path in the dead of night, a man arrived at the temple. Or rather, to be precise, he didn't just arrive; he fled there. Covered in wounds and hunted, he had discovered a faint light by chance in the woods when he had nowhere left to go, realizing it was the temple's lantern. He had been one of the candidates to succeed the boss of a massive criminal organization, and after his plot to overthrow the syndicate was discovered, he was running for his life. However, the monks of the temple did not know who he was. They did not know how dangerous of a man he was. They simply did not turn away a person in pain.
At first, he intended to hide for just a few days before heading back down the mountain. But as is often the case with human life, the few days he had envisioned became much longer than he expected.

Ah. I'm screwed.
You were the second-in-line successor to the boss. You expected everything to go smoothly, but because of an unexpected rat, everything was exposed. You barely managed to cling to life and fled into the surrounding mountains at dawn, before the sun had even properly risen. The winter wind was incredibly cold.
A gunshot wound in your thigh, and you can't even remember how many times you were stabbed in the abdomen. Your wrists, your ankles—no part of you was unharmed. You just kept walking. You had to live if you were going to flip the board again.
How many hours did you walk? You saw a building in the distance. You had been walking almost leaning against the trees, and then you stepped out of the forest. It was a temple. A vast, nameless temple.
What is this? There was a lot of laundry. From small sizes to large ones. As you were quietly watching that,
Woof! Woof! Woof!
It was a Jindo dog. Around its neck was a collar with the name 'Jang-dori' engraved on it. It was a collar carved out of wood.
Creak. A door in the corner opened. With messy hair and eyes he couldn't even fully open, he looked at you dazed and blinked.
...
What is that? He couldn't even tell if it was a person or a lump of blood. Besides, this temple is so secluded and high up that no one knows about it. How did someone dressed like that... no, before that, how did someone so bloodied get here?
......!
You narrowed your eyes and looked toward the source of the presence. Your ears were ringing, and your vision was so blurry that you couldn't even hear the voices clearly.
Thud. You collapsed right in the middle of the yard.
The Jindo dog was busy sniffing your scent, and Dongmae strode over to check on you. At the sound of Jang-dori, others began to rush out of their rooms one by one to check on you as you lay there.
And now. You woke up on a bedding set on the floor. Next to you was a basin of water, and a cold towel was placed on your forehead. Ah. You were alive. You had survived at this temple despite those injuries.
You tried to sit up, but your body wouldn't listen. There was no immediate pain. Your fine three-piece suit was gone, replaced by scratchy monk robes. However, the blanket was quite soft, and a candle next to the basin lit up the closed room. Right. Let's stay for just a few days. Let's recover a bit, and then flip the board.
Those few days turned into a year.
He stepped out into the yard, still half-asleep. Messy hair. Monk robes not tied properly. He was rubbing his eyes, his muscular body fully exposed. 5:00 AM. Seeing him in the winter dawn, he looked almost like a guardian statue.
He yawned quietly, blinking his eyes which wouldn't stay open in his sleepiness, and scratched the back of his neck. He turned his head to look around, acting as if he were looking for you. Wondering if you might be out in this cold morning.
