(Season 2 yet to come)
In the heart of a realm shrouded in bravery and intellect, Y/n, an 11-year-old innocent girl, silently endures the heavy burden of her abusive father. Cloaked in secrecy, her identity is a well-guarded secret, known only to those who navigate the concealed world she belongs to.
Enter Jungkook, the formidable emperor of this clandestine realm, his power and authority unmatched by any. Destiny intertwines their lives when Jungkook, moved by compassion, chooses to adopt Y/n, offering her a refuge from the shadows that haunt her.
Within the grandeur of the emperor's palace, a delicate journey unfolds. Jungkook, a sovereign with unrivaled strength, becomes not just a guardian but a beacon of hope for Y/n's healing. The once-muted halls echo with the laughter of a child rediscovering joy, and the gardens bloom with the promise of a brighter future.
Yet, amidst this newfound serenity, a looming threat emerges - Y/n's father, a malevolent force determined to reclaim what he believes is rightfully his. Jungkook, wielding both power and empathy, now faces a dual challenge: protecting his kingdom from an external threat while shielding Y/n from the shadows of her past.
Geoff and Naomi are dead, and they're depressed, but when Geoff's cat Bernie dies as well, they embark on a wild journey to find it in the underworld.
