He starts walking toward me, rolling something between his fingers. A lock pick. Metal clicking softly as he toys with it. I back up instinctively, my shoulders hitting the wall behind me. There's nowhere else to go. My breath comes faster now, chest rising and falling uncontrollably. He stops inches away. Too close. He lifts a hand and drags the cool metal lightly along the side of my arm-not hard, not painful. Just enough to remind me how trapped I am. "You shouldn't be here," he says quietly. My voice shakes-but I force the words out anyway. "You neither." For a moment, he just looks at me. Then he laughs. Low. Brief. Almost impressed. "Fair." I swallow. "Let me go." He studies my face like he's deciding something. Then, slowly, he raises both hands in mock surrender and steps back. "You're free to go." --- Starting over sounds easy-until you're forced to do it in the same place where everything once fell apart.

When destiny ties two souls, even time and distance can't untangle them. At nine years old, Luciano Greco, heir to Korea's most powerful entertainment empire, became mysteriously accident-prone during his family's visit to India. Desperate for answers, his spiritual mother sought help from a lady pandit-who revealed that Luciano's misfortune stemmed from a broken bond in his past life. The cure? A sacred ritual binding his fate to the son of her dearest friend. That six-year-old boy was Ruhan Varen-bright, clingy, and disastrously talkative. Their families performed a symbolic childhood engagement, believing it would restore balance. Eighteen years later, Ruhan has grown into a chaotic dreamer chasing his goal of becoming a K-pop idol manager. When he moves to Seoul to start fresh, his parents send him to stay with their old friends-the Grecos. Now Ruhan's chaotic energy collides head-on with Luciano's neat-freak perfectionism under one very expensive roof. And what Luciano doesn't expect... is that the sassy boy he once found annoying might just be the one person capable of turning his perfectly ordered world upside down again. Ruhan Varen's life plan was simple-move to Korea, land his dream job as a K-pop manager, and maybe avoid being dramatic for once. A grumpy CEO and his chaotic fiancé-under the same roof. #BL / Boys' Love #Romantic Comedy #Destiny / Fate Bond #Slow Burn with Humor #Family Drama + Cultural Blend #mafia
