In the heart of Seoul, Jeon Enterprises is a kingdom of glass, cold logic, and billion-dollar silence. At the top sits Jeon Jungkook, a CEO whose power is absolute and whose heart is a vault. He doesn't believe in fairy tales, and he certainly doesn't believe in ghosts.
Until he hears a voice echoing through the vents at 3:00 AM.
Kim Taehyung is a shadow in a janitor's uniform. A boy from a forgotten village, he arrived in the city with nothing but a bruised past and a secret he's terrified to share: the world of letters and numbers is a puzzle he cannot solve. To the high-flying executives, he is invisible. To the world, he is illiterate.
But in the dark of the supply closet, Taehyung is a creator. He draws masterpieces on shredded documents, nurtures life in the concrete, and sings with a voice so deep and soulful it sounds like the earth itself.
When Jungkook finally corners the "shy ghost" who has been haunting his building with melody, he doesn't find a victim. He finds a boy with a sharp wit, a devastating humor, and a past that is slowly catching up to him.
Taehyung is running from a father who deals in blood. Jungkook is running from a life that feels like stone.
Jungkook decides to protect him. He decides to teach him. But as he traces the alphabet onto Taehyung's skin, the professional line vanishes. In a world where Taehyung can't read the warnings, Jungkook will have to become his shield-or lose the only music he's ever truly heard.
"You can't read the contract, Taehyung. But can you read the way I'm looking at you?"
