    β€Ό"2nd book of wanted by you"β€Ό Caught Between Law and You Heeseung knew the moment Sunghoon stopped running. Not slowed down. Not hesitated. Stopped. From the rooftop across the street, Heeseung watched Sunghoon lower his gun, jaw tight, eyes already elsewhere-on a different file, a different name, a different enemy. Not him. That was worse than being chased. Because Sunghoon had made a choice. Heeseung disappeared that night without anyone noticing. No sirens. No cuffs. Just silence where pursuit used to be. His case went cold, shelved under Detective Choi's authority, and for the first time in years, no one was actively hunting him. It should've felt like freedom. Instead, it felt personal. So Heeseung did what he always did when control slipped through his fingers. He followed Sunghoon back.

    Three things define their world: Rivalry. Secrets. And a case that should've never existed. Y/N, a sharp-tongued businesswoman in her mid-20s, has spent years clashing with her infuriating rival - Park Jimin, a cocky yet brilliant young businessman known for his charm, temper, and the dangerous glint in his eyes when she challenges him. They don't get along. They never have. But somewhere between stolen glances and heated arguments... something starts to shift. Her older sister, Maya, a determined detective in her late 20s, is the calm, analytical balance to Y/N's fire. And working beside her is the man who contrasts her perfectly - Min Yoongi, a quiet, introverted forensic doctor, older brother to Jimin, and the kind of steady presence Maya didn't know she needed. Two sisters. Two brothers. Two opposite personalities drawn together in ways none of them expect. But everything changes when a brutal case lands on Maya and Yoongi's desk - one that links a high-profile attack to an elite circle only the wealthy can access. A torn piece of luxury fabric, a dead man clutching a clue, and a suspect list filled with powerful names. Then the unthinkable happens: Someone attempts to break into Y/N's office. And suddenly, the personal becomes deadly. Now the four of them are bound not just by attraction or rivalry... but by danger. As secrets unravel and tension rises, Jimin fights the urge to protect the one girl who drives him insane, Y/N discovers the truth behind their rivalry, Maya and Yoongi navigate growing feelings amid a rising threat, and a single thread of evidence threatens to pull their entire lives apart. Love, loyalty, family, and a mystery that intertwines their fates - this is the story of two couples learning that sometimes...
