SHATTERED VOWS | JEON JUNGKOOK X OC |

Prologue

In a world where duty eclipsed desire, Min Arin had always been the dutiful daughter, molded by her father's ambitions. As the CEO of a prestigious tech firm, she exuded confidence and control, yet she was acutely aware of the price of her success. When her father orchestrated her marriage to Jeon Jungkook, a police officer whose reckless spirit challenged authority, Arin felt the weight of his expectations settle heavily upon her shoulders.

Though Jungkook had repeatedly refused the idea of an arranged marriage, claiming he didn’t need to be tethered to anyone, his father, frustrated yet hopeful, promised that if he married Arin, he would cease his objections to Jungkook's perilous job. Inside, however, the elder Jeon believed that this union would bring about a transformation in his son, that the stability of family life would guide Jungkook away from danger and toward responsibility.

With no real choice but to obey her father's wishes, Arin agreed to the marriage, steeling herself for the role she was to play. Their wedding day arrived, a grand affair that masked the uncertainty that loomed over them. As they stood before their families, exchanging vows that felt hollow, Arin couldn’t shake the feeling that they were two strangers forced into a cage, neither of them truly willing to take flight.

As days turned into weeks, the reality of their marriage set in. Instead of grounding Jungkook, Arin’s presence only seemed to fuel his defiance, drawing him deeper into the chaos of his work. Rather than changing for the better, he found himself more entrenched in the dangerous life that had once worried his father. Arin, too, buried herself in her work, crafting a fortress of solitude around her heart, convinced that emotions were a distraction she could not afford.

Then came the child—an unexpected blessing that turned their lives upside down. The innocence of their baby ignited a flicker of hope in the dark corners of their hearts, forcing them to confront the realities they had both tried to escape. As they navigated the tumultuous waters of parenthood, the cracks in their relationship began to show, revealing hidden truths and longings neither had anticipated.

In *Shattered Vows*, the journey of Arin and Jungkook unfolds against a backdrop of shattered expectations and unyielding hope. As they grapple with their past decisions and the weight of their vows, can they rediscover the connection that eluded them? Or will the very promises that bind them become the shackles that keep them apart forever? In the delicate dance between duty and desire, they must decide what truly matters—family, love, or the courage to forge their own path.
