Sixteen was not just an age for them. It was the moment everything changed. A time that left behind memories too painful to forget, words that were never spoken, and a person who vanished before the story could reach its end. Ten years later, the past returns in a familiar face- a presence that feels like home but carries the heart of a stranger. One holds on to the past. The other carries the weight of it.

As the cold and feared head of Jeon Automotive, he has spent thirteen years building a life where emotions are a weakness and trust is a liability. People don't get close to him. They don't stay. Until everything goes wrong. A single accident strands him deep within an isolated forest-cut off, hunted, and surrounded by strangers he would never have acknowledged under normal circumstances. Among them is Kim Taehyung. A man who doesn't belong in Jungkook's world. A man who speaks when he shouldn't, challenges without fear... and, for reasons Jungkook cannot understand, refuses to leave him behind. When danger closes in and enemies reveal themselves, survival becomes a race against time. But something far more dangerous begins to unfold- Because Taehyung doesn't just stay. He protects. And Jungkook... doesn't know what to do with that. In a world built on control, power, and survival- what happens when someone risks everything... not out of fear, but care?

Some people enter your life for a lifetime . while some arrive when your lifetime is running out. Taehyung and Jungkook were both...♡
