Jihoon is Korea's golden football star - adored, wealthy, and exhausted by the emptiness fame can't fill. In search of stability, he agrees to an arranged marriage, trusting his family's choice. What he doesn't expect is Eunha - guarded, wounded, and convinced she's been sold like a trophy.
To her, their marriage is a cage.
To him, it's a chance to finally come home.
In a foreign city where silence speaks louder than words, two strangers must learn to share a life. But Eunha is built from abandonment, and Jihoon is hiding cracks he's never faced. Slowly, gently, their story unfolds - not in grand gestures, but in quiet moments where love waits to be let in.
A slow-burn, emotionally rich romance about healing, home, and the courage to stay.

They begin with a scream in the middle of someone else's happy ending."
