She met him by chance-a mysterious man with a knowing smirk and an offer she couldn't resist. Their game of wits turned into something more, something dangerous. But when she uncovered his secret-that he was a recruiter for a deadly competition where the desperate played for survival-everything changed.
He wasn't just luring people in.
He was trapped in the game, too.
Determined to save him, she infiltrated the system as a guard. But the moment she saw him forced into a final game of Russian roulette, the illusion of control shattered.
His death was meant to break her.
Instead, it set her on a path of vengeance.
Now, the game isn't over.
Now, she's the one making the rules.

And the closer she gets to saving his life, the more she risks losing her own.Complete
I Didn't Mean to Draw You | Choi Seung Hyun(T.O.P) x Reader
She came to Seoul to disappear. Not in the dramatic way-at least, not yet. Just far enough to breathe, to survive, to see if life could still mean something. With her sketchbook in one hand and a worn-out notebook in the other, Y/N carries the only things that keep her grounded: her art... and a list. A list of things to do before she ends it all. Some are simple. Some are impossible. All of them are hers. Then he ruins her drawings-and almost ruins her day. Cold, distant, and frustratingly good-looking, the masked stranger is everything she doesn't need. He's rude. He's judgmental. He seems to think the world revolves around him. And somehow, they keep meeting. What starts as disdain turns into tension. What grows from tension turns into something she didn't plan for-and definitely didn't write down on that list: love. But falling for someone wasn't supposed to happen. Not to her. Not like this. Especially not with someone like him.Complete

So he makes a risky decision: he enters the Games himself. What starts as control soon turns into something he can no longer deny. For the first time in nine years, he begins to feel something again - for a woman who was never meant to survive. And suddenly, he does everything to make sure she does. He manipulates the Games, bends fate, risks everything. But what happens when she finds out who he really is? Now Y/n must decide: Will she run - or stand by the side of the man who has already decided that he'll never let her go?
