HI
The morning headlines delivered the final blow.
**"Kim Jaehwan Declared Bankrupt—Assets Frozen, Investors Pull Out!"**
**"Kim Corporation Faces Major Fraud Allegations—Authorities Begin Investigation!"**
**"Former Business Tycoon Left with Nothing—Kim Jaehwan’s Reign Comes to a Tragic End!"**
Jaehwan’s world had crumbled overnight. His phone wouldn't stop ringing, but none of the calls were in his favor.
**Debt collectors, legal advisors, former investors—everyone wanted a piece of his downfall.**
He stood in the middle of his once-grand mansion, a hollow shell of a man, gripping his phone with trembling hands.
His wife....Namjoon’s mother....sat on the couch in stunned silence, unable to process the sudden collapse of their empire.
She had spent years living in luxury, looking down on others—and now, she was no different from the people she once despised.
"We still have something left, right?" she whispered, her voice shaking.
Jaehwan clenched his jaw, throwing the newspaper onto the floor.
"No. We have nothing."
For the first time in his life, Kim Jaehwan had lost.

At the airport:
Namjoon exhaled, rolling his shoulders back as he stood at the departure gate.
This was it.
A fresh start. A new life.
Beside him, Seokjin adjusted his coat, glancing around. "They’re here," he murmured.
Namjoon turned just in time to see Jeongguk walking towards them...Taehyung by his side.
Taehyung blinked in confusion, his fingers tightening around Jeongguk’s hand. "Hyung… why are we at the airport?"
Jeongguk didn’t answer. He just led him forward until Taehyung’s eyes landed on Namjoon’s suitcase.
The realization hit him like a storm.
His lips parted, his eyes widening as he turned to Namjoon.
"Hyung… you’re leaving?"
Namjoon gave a small, soft smile. " Forgive me, Taehyung-ah. I couldn't tell you that when this is over, I’ll be leaving."
The airport buzzed with life....passengers rushing past, announcements echoing overhead—but for Taehyung, time had slowed to a painful crawl.
He stood before Namjoon, his eyes glossy with unshed tears.
His older brother...his hyung—was leaving. Seokjin stood beside Namjoon, his hand resting gently on his fiancé’s arm, giving them space for their moment.
Jeongguk stood behind Taehyung, his protective presence grounding him. His hand rested firmly on Taehyung’s waist, silently reminding him that he wasn’t alone.
Namjoon sighed, guilt clouding his eyes. “Taehyung-ah…” His voice wavered. “I should have told you.”
Taehyung frowned, confused. “Told me what?”
Namjoon exhaled shakily, his hands trembling slightly as he reached for Taehyung’s shoulders. “Everything. About what Jeongguk and I were doing. About the plan.”
