Not every door opens to give you a home... some open to a world from which there is no return.
By day, IU chases her dream of attending university with unwavering determination. By night, she exhausts herself working just to make ends meet. She believes the greatest thing she could ever lose is a few hours of sleep... until she moves into a new apartment and discovers that her landlord is none other than Professor Jungkook-a calm, soft-spoken lecturer... and the leader of a ruthless gang hiding bloodstained secrets behind his confident smile.
There is only one rule:
**Never open your door after midnight, no matter what you hear.**
But curiosity never sleeps.
In a single night, IU witnesses something she was never meant to see. One gunshot changes her world forever, and a chilling warning leaves her life hanging by a thread:
*"If you see anything again... it will be the end of you."*
To keep suspicion away from a man hunted by both rival gangs and detectives, IU is forced to play a role more dangerous than any university exam: **his girlfriend**. What begins as a carefully planned act soon turns into a battle of the heart-a war between fear and comfort, between running away and staying, and between a man who has spent his life hiding behind coldness... and a girl who has never truly known what it means to feel safe.
In this novel, you'll enter a university where lectures aren't the only challenge... where love itself may be a trap, and survival comes at a devastating price.
Filled with thrilling twists, dangerous secrets, and relationships charged with tension, this is a novel you won't be able to put down until the very last page.
