Black Storm

“Eyes filled with pure, unconditional trust. You usually only see that in beasts, don’t you think so, Miss Rian?”

The name Rian felt unfamiliar. Though she had lived just as many years as Rian as she had as Jiah, the name still felt like it belonged to someone else.

“You must have mistaken me for someone else.”

She brushed it off with a reply she’d given countless times before. Like a machine, she repeated the same line. Jiah had no intention of becoming entangled in his life ever again.

“I never said it was a person.”

“…Pardon?”

When she furrowed her brows slightly, Tristan’s lips curled into a smile right before her eyes. She thought she had walked straight into a wordplay trap.

“I lost the beast I once raised. I thought you might be able to find it.”

She couldn’t tell if he was joking or being serious. Jiah didn’t answer right away this time. She took a moment to choose her words carefully.

“I’ve never raised an animal before.”

She had never raised one, never lost one, and never tried to find one either.

“Let’s find out. I believe someone like you could, Miss Rian.”

The certainty that he would never know the truth wavered slightly.

Male Lead: Tristan E. McKenzie — 30 years old. He is the head of the McKenzie Group, which started from a real estate business and has since expanded into hotels, resorts, and military supplies. When he was younger, he was kidnapped and taken to the Colombian jungle—an experience that became the most humiliating chapter of his life, one he would never forget.

Female Lead: Seol Jiah (Rian) – 30 years old. She met Tristan in the jungle. She thought the sun that had always hidden behind the trees had finally fallen to earth in human form—and it was him. He was beautiful. That’s why she swore to protect him with her life. And she paid a heavy price for that promise.
