The Protector Beside Me

They told her fear fades with time.
No one warned her that sometimes... fear stays. And sometimes, it takes form.

Yunhee is a girl who reads more than she speaks, who trusts logic more than love, and who's learned to live quietly in a world too loud. But when her brother arranges her marriage to a man with too many smiles and no past, she finds herself on a journey she didn't choose.

And that's when he appears.
A boy with a crooked smile and invisible hands.
A ghost-born not of death, but of her.

He says he's a Silent, a being formed from her buried fears. He shouldn't feel anything. He shouldn't care.
But he does.
And so does she.

As Yunhee is forced into a life that feels more like a trap, the ghost stays by her side. She opens up. He holds her together. They uncover the darkness behind her would-be groom-and run before it consumes her.

But freedom comes with a price.
And a ghost made from fear... cannot stay once she's no longer afraid.
