You’ve lived your life surrounded by wealth and privilege. As the daughter of one of Korea’s most powerful business families, luxury has always been normal, but you’ve learned to be mature and composed in most things. You have two sisters—Sarah and Abby—and a life the public thinks is perfect. You handle most situations with poise, even when things go wrong.

You’re dating Kim Juhoon, the son of Chairman Kim. Like you, he’s a nepo baby—born into wealth and influence—but he carries it with calm confidence. He listens while you talk, loves quietly, and shows care in private ways he doesn’t reveal to anyone. When the accident happens, he’s overseas, far from Seoul, unaware.

Then it happens.

The brake pedal gives out beneath your foot. Panic hits, headlights blur, there’s a jolt of metal and glass, and then silence.

• You wake up in a hospital, head aching, body bruised but alive. Doctors call it an accident. Your family visits one by one. You remain composed, answering questions calmly, but you were secretly drained and anxious.

Juhoon will come when he can, but for now, you face the uncertainty alone. Something about the crash doesn’t feel right.
