I Was Supposed To Die

Lim Naomi was supposed to die at ten years old.

And for a long time, everyone believed she did.

Born into one of the most dangerous mafia families in Asia, Naomi grew up surrounded by blood, violence, and people willing to kill to protect their power. The night she was accused of murder, her fate was sealed before she even had the chance to defend herself.

So she disappeared.

Lim Naomi died that night.
Or at least... that's the lie she forced the world to believe.

Years later, Naomi is living under a new identity, hiding from the family that destroyed her childhood and the past that still follows her like a ghost. She wants a normal life. A quiet life.

But quiet was never meant for people like her.

Especially not after Jeon Jungkook enters her world.

Cold. Mysterious. Impossible to read.

Jungkook is the kind of person who notices too much and says too little. The kind of person who looks dangerous even when he smiles. And from the moment they meet, Naomi realizes something is wrong.

Because Jungkook has secrets too.

Dark ones.

The more they get closer to each other, the more their lives begin to collide in the worst possible way. Lies turn into obsession. Trust becomes a weapon. And the deeper Naomi falls into him, the more she starts to fear one terrifying possibility:

Maybe the boy standing in front of her is just as broken as she is.

And maybe together...

they were never meant to save each other.

They were meant to destroy everything around them.
