Intro

**Introduction:**

In a world where ambition and pride often clash, two hearts, once distant and opposites, find themselves drawn together through fate. Jungkook and Taehyung. One is all fire, driven by goals, respect, and unyielding pride. The other is a whirlwind of emotions, full of compassion and secrets that nobody can quite decipher. Their paths cross in the most unlikely ways, starting with animosity and leading them down a road neither of them could have predicted.

Jungkook, the golden boy of the university, is known for his perfection. Smart, athletic, and the definition of confidence, he carries the weight of his family’s expectations like armor. He isn’t used to people challenging his authority or even daring to stand against him—until Taehyung walks into his life.

Taehyung, on the other hand, is the type of person who doesn’t care about status or popularity. He’s a creative soul with a mind full of ideas and a heart full of secrets. Everyone sees him as the carefree guy who never takes anything seriously, but beneath his charming smile lies a past filled with scars and unspoken pain.

Their hate-filled rivalry begins the moment they meet, but as their worlds begin to collide, they realize that what they once thought was hatred might be something much deeper.

#PROLOGUE#

The sound of footsteps echoed through the long, empty hallways of the university. A storm was brewing, but neither of them knew it yet.

Jungkook had always believed he was in control of his own destiny. Everything he had achieved was through sheer will and effort, pushing away the distractions and obstacles that threatened to derail him. But then Taehyung entered his life.

It wasn’t that Jungkook hated Taehyung, not at first. He simply didn't understand him. Taehyung’s carefree attitude was a threat to everything Jungkook held dear. While Jungkook worked tirelessly, Taehyung seemed to glide through life effortlessly, yet still managed to capture everyone’s attention.

What Jungkook didn’t know was that Taehyung had a past. A painful one. One that made him put up walls, only letting a few people in. One of those people was Jungkook, but Jungkook didn’t know it yet.

For Taehyung, it was never about competition—it was about survival. He could see the way Jungkook watched him, with both curiosity and disdain. But to Taehyung, it was just another person who wouldn’t understand.

However, both of them were about to find out that fate had a way of twisting things.
