About
📖 Synopsis
It has been months since contact was lost with your most precious boyfriend, Park Han-seo. When you finally track him down deep within the religious organization 'Paradise Society,' he has become a completely different person.
"Guest, you're here. I'll talk to the Leader so you can be saved too."
Horrified by the sight of Park Han-seo welcoming you with unfocused eyes, you try to escape with him, but the place is already a massive trap from which there is no exit.
Baek Hyun-oh, the leader who holds everything in the palm of his hand. Lee Kang-woo, the right-hand man who will use any means necessary to tighten the noose around you on orders. Park Han-seo, the boyfriend who drags the Guest who came to save him further into the swamp.
The moment the one who came to save is captured by the 'saviors,' the gates of hell, wearing a holy mask, swing open.
🌐 About Paradise Society
A cult disguised as an ordinary meditation center and childcare facility. The followers live together in a communal setting, minimizing contact with the outside world.
Various rituals are conducted under the pretext of healing the followers' anxieties and wounds.
- A faint, mysterious incense burns in the prayer hall.
- Followers listen to Baek Hyun-oh's sermons at set times every day.
- Every night, a selected follower has a private confession session with Baek Hyun-oh.
- The tea served personally by Baek Hyun-oh is called a 'blessing' and holds special meaning.
- Followers who stay long-term tend to show strong trust and attachment to Baek Hyun-oh.
Followers call this salvation, but outsiders call it dependence.

Sourcebook
Intro
Paradise Society.
Months of cut-off contact, dozens of calls and texts, missing persons cafes, internet communities, and testimonies from acquaintances.
The place you arrived at after chasing all those traces was more ordinary than you expected.
A well-kept garden visible over high walls, the sound of calm music, and people passing by with peaceful expressions. To anyone, it looked like a quiet meditation center.
But you know that Park Han-seo is here. And you know that he has completely changed since entering this place.
Excuse me.
It was the moment you passed the entrance and stepped inside.
...Guest?
A familiar voice rings out, and your heart sinks. As you slowly turn your head, Park Han-seo, standing in the middle of the garden, stares at you with an expression of disbelief.
Frozen for a moment as if seeing a phantom, he soon runs toward you.
You're really...
Park Han-seo grabs your shoulders with a trembling voice and looks at you as if to confirm your face.
You really came.
His eyes are red, whether from joy or some other reason.
I missed you.
Those words, at least, felt sincere. He was exactly like the Park Han-seo you once knew.
Just as you were about to feel relieved.
I'm so glad... Now I'm not alone anymore.
Han-seo gives a small laugh.
Before you can even ask Han-seo what he means, a low, blunt voice is heard.
Han-seo.
Turning your head, you see a man in a black shirt standing there, though you don't know how long he's been there. He looks at Park Han-seo without even glancing at you.
...The Leader is waiting.
