Minji Brooks is an adopted Black girl in Korea-fluent in the language but foreign in every hallway. Short, curly-haired, braces and big glasses... her presence is enough to make her a target. Bullied in silence since middle school, she's learned how to disappear, how to hide her pain behind layers of sweaters and whispered apologies.
Until her first year of high school changes everything.
Locked in a gym closet by classmates, injured and forgotten, Minji is rescued by the last person she expected-Kim Taehyung: the school's golden boy, soccer star, and someone who's never even looked her way.
But he does now.
He carries her home. Walks her to class. Sits with her at lunch. He says her name like it matters-and slowly, so carefully, she starts to believe him.
But kindness comes at a price.
The more attention Taehyung gives her, the crueler her world becomes. Jealousy brews. Rumors spread. And just when she starts to feel safe... it all spirals.
When Taehyung leaves for Seoul, Minji is left behind-scarred, homeschooled, and determined to become someone stronger. Someone who fights back.
Because the next time they meet...
She won't need saving.

The One Who Never Existed || TAEJIN
Kim Taehyung, a quiet college student who begins seeing a mysterious boy named Kim Seokjin roaming the campus-soft-spoken, familiar, and deeply loved. But no one else sees Seokjin. No student. No professor. No record. Not even his parents. To the world, Kim Seokjin never existed. Haunted and confused, Taehyung insists Seokjin was real-that they were lovers in high school. The truth is, Seokjin was once known as Kim Soojin, an orphan who hated his name and asked Taehyung to call him Seokjin. But one tragic night, Soojin called Taehyung to meet him in a field. What happened that night shattered everything. As Taehyung spirals between memory and madness, he uncovers Soojin's hidden past, their stolen love, and the quiet erasure of a boy the world never wanted to remember. Everyone thinks Taehyung is losing his mind. But maybe the truth is far more terrifying. Because love, grief, and guilt have a way of bringing back what should have stayed buried. And in the end... only one question remains: Was Seokjin ever real, or is Taehyung the only one left who remembers him?

CINDERELLA || TK
Not the story with a glass shoe and a prince charming. This one has guns, bruised knuckles, and a mafia prince who doesn't believe in happy endings. Jungkook isn't waiting for rescue - he's just trying to survive. Trapped in a house full of monsters and silence, he's learned that kindness can be fatal and love isn't always gentle. Then there's Kim Taehyung - golden boy of the university, heir to the kind of empire Jungkook wants nothing to do with. Cold, confident, untouchable. The type who gets everything he wants. Except him. "Skipping class again?" Taehyung's voice was smooth, low - the kind that slipped under the skin instead of just being heard. "Didn't feel like it." Footsteps. Slow. Closer. "You never feel like it." Jungkook's reflection met Taehyung's in the glass - two silhouettes, one calm, one trembling with something he couldn't name. "What do you want, Taehyung?" Taehyung stopped just behind him. "You." The word hung there - not romantic, not tender. It was a challenge, a confession, a dare. Taehyung smiled first, slow and dangerous. "You really don't know what you do to people, do you?"Complete
