The Lie on My Wrist - A YA Story of Friendship, Secrets, and the Cost of Hiding Who We Are

Esdy Summer

One watch. One dare. One secret too heavy to stay hidden.

Minho never thought a simple bet could either destroy or save a friendship. When Taeyoung flaunts a sleek Swiss watch at school, Minho's curiosity sparks a challenge: prove it's waterproof. What begins as a joke spirals into disaster when the watch sinks into the depths of the Han River, pulling Taeyoung's carefully constructed life down with it.

Behind Taeyoung's bright smile and flashy wristwear lies a truth no one sees-violence at home, a runaway mother, and a boy terrified of becoming the man he despises. Losing the watch strips away more than status; it forces Taeyoung to confront his fears, and Minho to face the cost of curiosity.

A tender, coming-of-age YA story about identity, pride, and friendship tested by secrets and lies-perfect for fans of heartfelt, contemporary fiction that lingers long after the last page.
