ROMANCE CRIME SERIES
Detective Next Door, Choi Do-hyun
" The case is closed. Except for Choi Do-hyun. "
STORY
That night, you fell for Choi Do-hyun at first sight.
A few months ago, you were being stalked: calls from a blocked number late every night, strange texts, and unexplained traces left outside your door.
Just when it seemed like it might all be over, a detective appeared. A low, flat voice. A black jacket. Sharp eyes. What stayed with you more clearly than the danger itself was Detective Choi Do-hyun, who had protected you.
