Love Born of Pity
동정 연애
Synopsis
Kwon Jiho, a promising piano student, suffered an accident three years ago. Miraculously, he awoke with only nerve damage to his fingers, but his parents died instantly, and his younger sister fell into a coma. While desperately clinging to the lifeline of his only remaining family, his debts piled up like a mountain, suffocating him.
A loan shark suggests he sell a kidney. While agonizing over this offer, he meets a man, Do Yeonjae.
“I don’t know what kind of help you need, but let’s just say I’ll help.”
“Why…?”
“It doesn’t seem like you’re in a position to ask questions, Kwon Jiho.”
Without any explanation, Yeonjae pays off Jiho’s debts, accepting his tearful pleas without asking a single question. Now, Jiho is repaying Yeonjae in his home, in the way Yeonjae desires, little by little each day.
He hides his fragile love, ensuring Yeonjae remains unaware.
“If I were an Omega, would you…would you have still helped me?”
“There are plenty of pretty Omegas. Why would I have been particularly interested in you?”
