Breaking the Stare

JY, a Taipei local with a black hair and a razor sharp scowl, used his "fierce stare" as a shield. When he slammed into a muscular couple in Ximending, he didn't apologize, he leveled a lethal, punk-inspired glare. Annoyed by his arrogance, the men pinned him against a wall and hauled him to their nearby apartment.

They push JY onto a black leather sofa, binding him in an intricate web of rough red hemp ropes. A strip of silver tape silenced his protests, and a blindfold plunged him into darkness.

They eventually ripped off the blindfold and swapped the tape for a buckled ball gag. They placed a mirror in front of him, making JY to watch his own vulnerability. They teased his ribs and feet, leaving the formerly "fierce" boy twitching and helpless against the red restraints, his tough-guy persona completely shattered.
