The Debt I Settled

When my younger brother's gambling addiction lands him two hundred and fifty thousand dollars in debt to Seoul's most feared crime family, I do the only thing I can.

I beg.

I expect threats. Violence. Maybe even a death sentence.

Instead, I get an offer.

Six months as Jeon Jungkook's fiancée.

In exchange, my brother's debt disappears.

The rules should've been simple: smile for the cameras, wear the ring, and stay out of his business.

But nothing about Jungkook is simple.

Behind the expensive suits and cold stare is a man capable of terrifying cruelty-and unexpected kindness. The deeper I'm pulled into his world of secrets, bloodshed, and betrayal, the harder it becomes to remember that none of this is real.

Because somewhere between the lies, the danger, and the stolen moments, I forget one important thing:

This engagement was supposed to be fake.

And in Jungkook's world, debts are always paid in full.

Even the ones paid with your heart.
