Jiwon lives a careful life in Seoul-her days filled with exams, expectations, and her father's work at the Ministry of Unification. But everything changes when she finds a girl hiding in her grandmother's abandoned greenhouse: Haemi, a runaway from North Korea, injured, terrified, and silent.
What starts as an act of compassion turns into something much riskier. Jiwon agrees to shelter Haemi, disguising her as a distant cousin while navigating school, government suspicion, and a world that doesn't make space for love across borders. But every shared meal, every late-night whisper, every scribbled note exchanged under the covers-pulls them closer.
One girl crossed the border to survive. The other crossed a line to protect her. Neither expected to fall in love.
A story about identity, rebellion, and the quiet power of choosing someone-even when the world tells you not to.
