    Summary

    Some scars don't heal. Some just wait.

    Jung Wooyoung doesn't remember the fire. He remembers the water, cold, closing over his head, and the smell of smoke, and somewhere in the burning dark, a body that wasn't his mother's. Someone he was supposed to save. Someone his mind has locked away so completely even his nightmares only get the shape of it, never the name.

    He buried it. Built an empire in its place, no face, no name, nothing the world could use against him.

    Then Choi San walks in.

    Beautiful. Dangerous. Chasing a ghost from that same fire, and it leads straight back to Wooyoung.

    This isn't a seduction. It isn't quite a war. It's something in between, written in silk and blood and the kind of want that ruins people.

    One of them is lying.

    Both of them are already too far gone to stop.
