A Love Story Entwined with Misunderstandings in a World of Chaos and Survival!

What starts as an exciting trip to Paris quickly turns into a nightmare when Heesoo’s plane crash-lands, leaving her stranded in a zombie-infested parallel world.

In this brutal realm, where outsiders like her are treated as slaves and violence reigns supreme, survival seems impossible—especially in a place where she can neither understand nor speak the language.

Captured by ruthless men intent on enslaving her, Heesoo faces the horrifying prospect of being left to die at the hands of zombies.

Just when all hope seems lost, a man with piercing emerald-green eyes miraculously saves her—a beacon of strength amidst the chaos.

“Get lost, unless you’re looking for trouble.”

Her savior, Calix Clovis, a holy knight and relentless zombie hunter, is the epitome of strength in this cruel world.
With no other options, Heesoo clings to him as her only lifeline.

Yet, as their journey unfolds, the language barrier between them breeds endless misunderstandings, while an unspoken tension of desire simmers beneath the surface, threatening to ignite.

Heesoo finds herself falling for Calix, drawn to the man who saved her.

Calix, too, feels a growing attraction to her, but as a holy knight, he views such desires as sinful temptations and fights to suppress his feelings.

‘What am I supposed to do with this woman?’

Helpless and unable to survive without him, Heesoo becomes his burden—one he knows he should abandon.

Logic demands he leave her behind and continue his fight alone.

Yet no matter how hard he tries, Calix cannot bring himself to let her go.

“When we reach the city, we’ll never see each other again. Got it?”

Calix tells himself she’s nothing more than a thorn—insignificant yet irritating.

But the longer they travel together, the deeper she embeds herself in his soul, sharp and impossible to remove.

Her presence unsettles him, forcing him to question everything he once believed, leaving him to wonder: would removing this thorn cause more pain than keeping it?

Will Calix pull the thorn free and walk away?

Or will he surrender to the feelings that pierce him deeper with every step they take together?

The Thorn that Pierces Me

Though they weren’t in the habit of seeing each other often, the idea of her mother starting a new family made Heesoo feel like she would truly become a stranger to her. It was as if she would be alone in this world, which saddened her.


After all, even if Heesoo disliked her, she was still her mother.


Eventually, having become a designer at a famous hair salon in Cheongdam-dong at the young age of 28, she decided to quit her job.


Achieving her dream didn’t mean she had achieved everything. Success didn’t bring happiness. She always felt a pang of sorrow near the holiday seasons and New Year. Seeing others living together with their family or lovers made her own life seem desolate. Even though she had saved up quite a bit of money, she felt incredibly lonely.


When she ended up losing herself inside a deep spiral of depression, people suggested she take a trip. They said it would help her discover a new self and change her life.
