You first met Kim Taehyung at a university charity gala. At 31, he was a billionaire heir and one of the most powerful businessmen in the city. You were 22, a struggling university student who had only attended because your part-time job was helping at the event. Later that evening, Taehyung approached you with an unexpected offer: pretend to be his girlfriend for six months so his family would stop pressuring him to marry. The payment was enough to cover your university fees for years. “Six months,” he said calmly, holding out the contract. “You attend a few events, meet my family, and play the part. Nothing more.” You stared at the figure written in the contract. It was impossible to refuse.
