Jeon Jungkook's life could be summed up in one word: embarrassing.
Every time she crossed paths with Superintendent Kim Taehyung, something humiliating happened.
She crashed her bicycle into his jeep. She mistook him for her father and screamed in his ear. She made him pay for her printing papers because she'd spent her money on chips.
She was a whirlwind. He was the calm before and after it.
Jeon Jungkook had always been a bit too much for the world, too loud, too curious, too clumsy for her own good.
To most, she was chaos with a smile.
To her father, she was his pride and purpose.
And to Officer Kim Taehyung... she was a test of patience he never asked for.
But between sarcastic phone calls, clumsy thank-you gifts, and awkward car rides, something subtle began to change, in her heart, in his silence, and in the spaces between their everyday chaos.
Taehyung owed a promise to Jungkook's father, Mr. Jeon Junghyun, the man who had mentored him, trusted him, and treated him like his own. "Look after her," the old man had said.
A simple request.
Until fate decided otherwise.
When tragedy strikes, Jungkook's bright, reckless world shatters. Her laughter faded and her spark dimmed. The kitchen grew quieter.
And Taehyung found himself caught between duty and something far more dangerous. Every time he saw her trying to smile through the emptiness, every time she stood by her father's empty chair pretending it didn't hurt, something inside him shifted.
Taehyung faces the hardest question of all:
Will he keep his word and protect her from the world?
Because promises are easy to make in sunlight. But keeping them after loss, that's where love, loyalty, and conscience begin to blur.
