“Sorry, Ruby. I can’t bear it anymore. Forgive me, my daughter.” These were the last words her father left behind. Ruby struggled to understand why he had done it— not out of sorrow alone, but because nothing seemed to make sense. A successful doctor, known for his discipline and strict boundaries, had ended his life, leaving only an apology… without any explanation. As she tried to unravel the mystery of his death, she found herself face-to-face with a world that operated outside the law, a world where organ trafficking thrived under the guise of medicine. It was there that she was kidnapped by Alex Raice, known as “the Devil.” Ruby had no idea that Alex knew her father’s name very well. And so, caught between her search for the truth and a man who held all the keys to her life, a story began—one Ruby was never meant to be part of.

Seo Yoon never thought much about her past. She had always been told she was an orphan, abandoned as a child. Now, at 26, she is simply trying to navigate adulthood after graduating university—juggling job applications, endless scrolling, and sleepless nights filled with uncertainty. But everything changes when she hears it. Kkogkkog sumeora, meolikarag bolla. The hide-and-seek song. At first, she thinks it’s nothing. A dream. A fragment of a childhood she doesn’t remember. But when she sees a man protesting on the street—Jung Hyun-seok, a father desperately searching for his missing son—memories start surfacing. Memories she should not have. Because Seo Yoon has seen that missing boy before. But that’s impossible. As she is drawn deeper into a past that was stolen from her, Seo Yoon begins to unravel a terrifying truth: not all missing children stay missing. Some are given new lives, new identities. Some are never meant to be found. And some… never left at all. The real horror isn’t just that people disappear. It’s that society forgets them. Until it’s too late. Based on Real Life Cases.

Lumira has no history — only a name and a life she built alone. When men in black suits appear at her door with a photograph of a woman who looks exactly like her, her world collapses in a single sentence: “You’ve been chosen.” Taken against her will and delivered into the ruthless mafia empire of Zarek Volkov, Lumira learns the truth — she wasn’t kidnapped. She was selected. Chosen to replace a dead woman. Chosen to wear another name. Chosen to live another life. Chosen to become a ghost’s shadow. Zarek doesn’t want love. He doesn’t want healing. He doesn’t want consent. He wants continuity. Cold. Dominant. Untouchable. A man who rules through fear and silence. A king who doesn’t negotiate — he commands. As Lumira is stripped of identity, freedom, and choice, a psychological war begins between possession and resistance, control and survival, obsession and defiance. Because she refuses to disappear. And he refuses to let her remain.
