Kim Ari-ah, the daughter of the renowned businessman Kim Jonhua, was a household name in South Korea. Her father, a self-made tycoon, had built an empire from the ground up, creating one of the top companies in the country.
Her smarts and beauty made her a social media sensation. With 27 million followers on Stardust, she was a social media star who could command attention with just a single post. Yet, despite the glamour and the endless stream of admiration from fans, there was something darker lurking beneath her life of fame-something Ari-ah herself didn't even know.
Bangtan.
A name whispered in fear by many, respected by few, and avoided by all who valued their lives. The group, made up of seven elite and ruthless men, had a reputation that spread like wildfire through the streets of Seoul. No one messed with Bangtan.
Ari-ah had heard of them, of course. Who hadn't? But she never imagined her life could be connected to such a dangerous force.
It started with whispers, small pieces of information that didn't seem to fit. A photo here, a comment there. Faces that seemed familiar though she couldn't place them. The nagging suspicion that her father was hiding something-something he had kept buried since her mother's death.
Ari-ah knew that her father's business dealings were intricate, that power and money often came with dark secrets. But she was about to uncover something far more dangerous than she had ever imagined.
And the deeper she dove into the truth, the closer she got to discovering her connection to Bangtan, the more she realized that the life she had been living-the fame, the followers, the glittering world of social media-was just a mask. A mask that was about to crack.
Because what Ari-ah didn't know was that she wasn't just connected to Bangtan.
She was part of them.
And once the truth came out, the world as she knew it would never be the same again.
