preview

The plane landed with a soft thud, and as the wheels met the tarmac, a surge of nostalgia washed over Kang Y/N. She leaned against the window, her breath fogging the glass momentarily, a mirror to the emotional storm brewing within. Korea—her homeland—stretched out before her, a mosaic of memories flashing like the vibrant lights of the city that never sleeps. The smiley faces and harsh laughter filled her mind, adding layers to her expression of stark determination.

"What does it mean to go back when everything has changed?" she muttered under her breath. The last time she stood on this soil, things were different—simpler. A past wrapped in familial love, unaware of the shadows lurking just beneath the surface of her seemingly perfect life.

The familiar sound of chatter and bustling city life welcomed her as she stepped out of the airport, her heart racing with the pulse of uncertainty. Yes, she was Kang Y/N, the powerful lawyer who dismantled criminals' defenses effortlessly. But inside, she bore wounds that her wealth and stature never healed—wounds hidden beneath layers of bravado and fierce independence. Safety was an illusion, reinforced by the facade of her indomitable exterior, and this illusion was often shattered by the haunting recollections of her friendship with Choe Ae-cha.

Their connection had once been unbreakable, partners in crime and laughter. But the betrayal that shattered that bond left Y/N reeling and guarding her heart like a sacred treasure. Her phone buzzed again, pulling her out of her reverie, with an ominous message from an unknown number. The previous text clamored for her focus, and as much as she resisted, she couldn't shake off the chilling thrill it ignited.

"Welcome back, Y/N. I see you're still as fearless as ever."

An unfamiliar chill crept down her spine as she contemplated the implications of those words. Who posed such a greeting with a whisper of menace behind it? Y/N’s instincts heightened; lurking danger always shadowed those in her profession.

She stepped into her car, her loyal driver ready, and as she settled into the plush leather seat, she instructed him to head to her family’s estate. The Kang family estate was more than a home; it was a fortress, a sanctuary draped in opulence yet fortified with secrets. Secrets that had imprisoned Y/N for far too long.

As the city blurred by, her thoughts veered toward her adversary and former friend, Choe Ae-cha. She could already feel the cold weight of animosity hanging between them, a ghostly presence that somehow haunted every corner of their shared past. Was it jealousy that carved their rift? Or was it something deeper—a contrasting perception of the world around them?

The car veered through narrow streets, and soon the magnificent gates of the Kang estate appeared. The palatial residence stood, mighty and grand, a symbol of power in the heart of the city—a gracious host to hidden turmoil. Her elder brother and sister were already engaged in business matters, ensuring the family’s legacy remained untarnished amidst their inner chaos.

With a deep breath, Y/N prepared herself for what was to come, knowing well that the case ahead would be enough to shake the very foundation of her well-crafted image. But it wasn’t just the case; it was the haunting shadows of her past—the memories of Ae-cha and the feelings that lingered unsaid.

“Welcome back, indeed.” She whispered to herself, her determination morphing into fierce resolve. It was time to confront not only the demons in her court but also those lurking in the shadows of her heart.

Episode 1. Unknown message

Feeling a chill run down her spine, y/n quickly scans the crowd, searching for any familiar faces. The bustling airport seems overwhelming, but she takes a deep breath to steady herself. She can't let fear control her—she’s a lawyer, a fighter.

With a determined stride, she makes her way through the terminal, her heels clicking against the polished floor, reminding her of the power she holds in her line of work. She reaches the baggage claim and grabs her suitcase, her mind still racing over the message. Could it be someone connected to her family? Or perhaps a rival from the Sung family?

Suddenly, her phone buzzes again, a notification lighting up the screen. It's from Lee Rim So, her mutual friend.

"Hey, just landed. Can we meet? I need to talk to you about something important," the text reads.

Y/n hesitates only for a moment before responding. "Sure, where?"

"Let’s meet at the café near the office. I’ll be waiting," Rim So replies.

---

Waves of nostalgia hit y/n as she walks through the streets of Seoul. The scent of street food wafts through the air, taking her back to simpler times. All the warmth and laughter shared with her family seem bittersweet now.

Arriving at the café, she spots Rim So sitting at a corner table, glancing around nervously. He looks up and a relieved smile breaks across his face.

"Y/n!" he calls out, waving her over.

As she joins him, she notices his usually calm demeanor is slightly ruffled, his hands fiddling with his coffee cup. “What’s going on? You seemed urgent in your text,” she asks, concern etching her features.

Rim So leans in, his voice lowering. “I heard rumors about the Sung family and their plans. They’re not just expanding their weapon supply, y/n; they’re going after the Kang family directly.”

Her heart races. “Are you sure? What do they want?”

“I think they’re looking for a way to undermine your family’s influence. There’s talk of a power shift in the underground world—a fight for control. You need to be careful. This could escalate quickly,” he cautions.

Y/n clenches her fists, the weight of the message and Rim So's warning settling heavily on her. She can feel the tensions simmering just beneath the surface, the kind that can lead to betrayal, violence… and danger.

At that moment, her phone buzzes again, and she picks it up, glancing at the screen. Another message from the unknown number: “Stay close to your friends, y/n. You never know who might turn on you."

Y/n looks up, her expression hardening. This was deeper than just a simple family rivalry; it was a game of chess where everyone was a player, and her past was the queen they wanted to capture.

She turns back to Rim So. “We need to gather more information. I’ll call in a favor with Ji Chang-wook and see what he can dig up.”

---

As the two friends plot their next move, y/n feels a sense of determination rise within her. She may have secrets buried deep within, but one thing is clear: she won’t allow anyone to hurt her family or friends. She is Kang y/n, and no one, not even the Sung family, can take that power from her.

---

Just then, a shadow flickers by the café window, and a tall figure steps in—a tall man with striking features, wearing an unmistakable lawyer's suit. It's Kim Taehyung. Their eyes meet, and for a moment, time slows down. There’s a connection that lingers between them—a mix of professional camaraderie and unspoken feelings.

“Y/n,” he says, a smile breaking through his serious facade. “Good to see you back.”

“Taehyung,” she replies, her heart beating faster. “I’m here for a case, but it looks like I might be in a little over my head.”

He raises an eyebrow, concern creeping into his gaze. “If you’re in trouble, you know I’m here to help.”

In that moment, y/n feels a flicker of hope. Perhaps with her friends and Taehyung by her side, she can face whatever storm is brewing on the horizon.

---

With renewed resolve, y/n asks, “Can you help us gather more intel on the Sung family? I need to know what we’re up against.”

Taehyung nods, seriousness washing over him. “I’ll make some calls tonight. We won’t let them take you down.”

---

As they share strategies over coffee, y/n realizes that the stakes are higher than she ever imagined, but surrounded by friends and allies, she feels capable. She’ll face the shadows of her past and the threat of the future head-on.

“Just remember, no matter what happens, you’re not alone in this,” Taehyung says, his eyes piercing through her facade.

And for the first time in a long time, y/n believes him.

---

As the afternoon sky begins to paint itself in hues of orange and pink, one thought lingers in her mind: the game had only just begun. And she would play to win.
