What if a killer didn't just murder - but forced one victim to decide the fate of another? A series of murders shakes a quiet countryside town. At every crime scene, the pattern repeats itself: bodies from the same family, survivors marked by impossible decisions, and a poem that lingers in the minds of those left alive. Assigned to the case, young detective Na-moo Hwang realizes the murders follow the same cruel game that terrorized the town twelve years earlier - a game that was never truly brought to an end. Amid a lack of clues and an increasingly tangled web of suspects, Na-moo is forced to work alongside Amélie, a forensic psychologist whose presence becomes a problem from their very first meeting... literally. To uncover the face behind the crimes, the two must reconstruct a past shaped by guilt, choices, and scars. Because this time, surviving may not be the same as escaping. 16+ [This story won Wattys 2022 in Portuguese with its original version, Ou Isto Ou Aquilo] © 2020 All rights reserved. » Plagiarism is a crime, don't be part of the dark side of strength ♡ » I don't authorize adaptations ♡

An unexpected deal. A love that was never meant to be real. And colors and galaxies that never stopped colliding... For the past four years, Erin has been living on promises - to her university, to her scholarship, and most of all to the brother who sacrificed everything so she could graduate. Failure is not an option. Not now, with the finish line finally in sight. When an unforeseen setback threatens to destroy her final project, Erin turns to the only person who can help her: Jake Young. The problem? Jake isn't just the brother of the one responsible for the disaster - he's also the man she's been avoiding ever since friendship and resentment began sharing the same space. Jake agrees to help, but only under one condition: Erin must travel with him and pretend to be his girlfriend for forty-five days during summer break. A simple deal. No real feelings involved. Or at least, that was the plan. Between forced proximity, promises that grow harder to keep, and a past that refuses to stay buried, Erin realizes that pretending to feel something might be far more dangerous than admitting the truth. Some agreements save futures. Others put the heart at risk. +14 Cover illustration: Tory Design and typography: Canva Unedited text.
