Summary
she was always the black sheep—the one who dropped out, who chose any path over the life her family mapped out. han-byeol’s eldest sister became a celebrated ceo, but byeol chose art, and art never paid the bills. to keep up appearances, she juggled odd jobs, drifting from one paycheck to the next—until a bad decision tied her to a loan shark and left her family with no choice but to cast her out.
just when she thought things couldn’t spiral lower, there was him. detective hwang jun-ho—the cop who always caught her at the wrong time, warning her how thin the line was between freedom and ruin. he never arrested her, never truly let her go either. pity, curiosity, maybe something else—it lingered, turning every encounter into a push and pull of mistrust and something they could never name.
then came the offer. a chance to erase her debt, to start again. but the price was her life on the line inside the games, where survival was the only currency. and when she came face to face with a familiar figure inside those walls, byeol realized her fight for freedom might cost more than she could ever pay.
mature content ahead.
