TWELVE
Complete
A former K-pop manager becomes entangled in an arrangement with twelve women he helped free from predatory contracts — but what starts as desire slowly becomes something none of them expected. As careers rise, futures collide, and hearts break open, he learns that building an empire means nothing if you lose the people you built it for.
