Girlfriend for Hire

Kim Luna's life has always revolved around things she cannot let go of. Clinging to a toxic ex-boyfriend, drawn to a kind yet emotionally unavailable psychiatrist, and mourning the lavish lifestyle stripped away when her family sank into debt, she has spent years tethered to everything that hurts her most. Now, scraping by as a girlfriend-for-hire, Luna believes she has already seen the depths of her own dysfunction. Then she meets Moon Sung-hyun, and what should have been just another paid arrangement blossoms into a relationship far more dangerous than any before it. By sheer twist of fate, Sung-hyun now occupies the very apartment Luna was forced to abandon—yet the threads binding them stretch back further than either of them knows. Lurking beneath the surface of their unlikely connection lies a sinister secret tying their two families together, waiting to unravel everything. As Luna's feelings for Sung-hyun shift from performance to painful sincerity, she stands at a crossroads: break free from the destructive patterns that have always defined her and finally embrace genuine love, or be pulled, willingly or not, into something far more poisonous than anything she has ever known.
