Touch of Broken Things

A/N: Hi everyone! WELCOME TO TOUCH OF BROKEN THINGS!! Thank you so much for clicking on this story!

November is National Writing Month, which means it's also Nanowrimo month. In my class, we were told to write a 3000-word story in a month.

I asked my teacher for tropes and these were the ones she gave me.

• mafia
• ugly duckling
• if I can't have you, no one can
• death by cliff

I asked my cousin to help me with the story by incorporating all these tropes into my one shot and my teacher helped me with the ending. Anyways, I was able to finish this the first week of December and spent the last few days editing and cutting the story to make it as short as possible.

Heavily inspired by Erroneous by Masquerade16

I do not own the characters of this story, this doesn't reflect how the life of Seokjin, Jeongguk, or any other members of any other groups or celebrities that may appear. This book is entirely my idea so if there's a book that happens to have this same idea, it's entirely coincidental.

If you prefer to not read it as fanfiction, it is ALSO AVAILABLE AS AN ORGINAL STORY on this account haveagreatday13

This book is also available on AO3, my account is TheQuietLoser if you wanna check it out.

This is entirely FICTION. As I mentioned, whoever is mentioned in this book is in no way connected to how they are in real life

DON'T READ IF YOU CAN'T SEPARATE FICTION FROM REALITY!!!!

Ok, that's all I have to say

HOPE YOU ENJOY THE STORY!!

From the moment Seokjin was born, success was in his destiny.

His father worked in an "underground business", dreaming of someday resigning and starting a family. His dream seemed impossible until he met the love of his life.

The day he left with consent from his boss, he vowed never to speak a word of his past to his family.

He moved away to leave that life behind with his wife, who was eventually impregnated and gave birth to a beautiful baby they named Seokjin. For some time, life was a dream come true until everyone was forced to wake up.

His wife's dead body was found in their car parked on the driveway marked with bleeding stab wounds scattered over her torso and a knife plunged to her neck. The smell of iron in the air mixed with the sound of a baby screaming in the back seat felt like a hallucination. His heart turned to stone that day and never thawed.

Seokjin must have been 2 months old when his mother was killed. 2 months old when his dad gave him up for his best friend and wife to raise while he returned to his mafia to avenge his late wife, promising to come back for his son someday. Growing up, Seokjin's foster family told him fairytale-like stories about how his father was a hero fighting evil and that he'd return when it was safe.

Years passed until Seokjin was six and his foster parents were pregnant with a child of their own. By then, his father's stories became nothing but tales and his dad became a character, never real to begin with.

Jeongguk was born two months before Seokjin's birthday. The moment he saw the red scrunched-up, little head wrapped in a blanket bundle, he discovered what a miracle was. For the first time in his life, Seokjin had a friend.
