Fallen Star || A Kim Taehyung Actor/CEO AU Fanfic

Prologue

Kim Taehyung was the manifestation of the word 'perfect'.

For starters, he was famous worldwide. So famous that if you overheard a person say that they didn't know who he was, you could safely assume that they were either straight-up lying, or that they had been brought up in the furthest place from civilisation that existed on the planet. It was simply impossible not to know who he was.

His fame was partly due to his career choices. Taehyung was a high-end model who modelled for brands such as Gucci, Tommy Hilfiger, Louis Vuitton and many more, but he was also an actor with a striking ability to completely immerse himself in a role and play it exactly the way the director had imagined it should be played. It was also well known that Taehyung had inherited a part of Kim Corporation, the family business that was passed down to him and his brother when their parents passed away. Although it was his brother that was the CEO of the company, Taehyung still gained a profit from simply turning up at the office for a cup of tea and to perhaps make some slight changes to the company here and there.

It wasn't only his multiple successful careers that made him famous, though. It was also the fact that his entire being was flawless. He was perfect in every way – a perfectly symmetrical face, dark and well-groomed eyebrows, deep pools of melted milk chocolate for eyes and skin the shade of a creamy latte. He had a sharp jawline and was always clean-shaven, not even a ghost of a moustache or beard ever making a presence on his face. His lips were the kind of full and plump lips which looked so, so kissable, and many would sell their souls to the devil or overcome their greatest fear just to get a taste of them.

His figure was just as gorgeous as his face – broad shoulders, a slim waist, and long legs which gave him his tall height. He seemed to be able to pull off any item of clothing no matter how crazy it looked and any outfit no matter how mismatched it appeared to be at first glance. Although he didn't have the desirable six pack which many would fantasise about, this didn't stop the world from believing in his perfection as most people turned their attention to his thick thighs and strong, muscular arms instead. There were some people who claimed that they preferred him this way as he seemed more soft and huggable, and this fuelled their fantasies more so they were perfectly fine with the absence of a toned torso.

If you didn't call Taehyung 'perfect', then you certainly called him 'ethereal'. There wasn't anyone like him out there. Some came close, but even then, it wasn't close enough.

Everyone believed that he had everything that he could ever wish for. He had his own circle of friends who he was often seen around with in public and at his various workplaces. They seemed to be very close with one another, and whenever asked in an interview, Taehyung always stated that they were his favourite people on the planet.

He always said the same thing about his girlfriend, too.

Park Jiwon was a stunning young lady who had been born with beautiful feminine looks but quite a deep and husky voice which didn't match her character in her younger years. Now, however, Jiwon was a professional rapper whose voice was a gift to many people worldwide. Due to her performances and tours across the globe, she didn't always have the opportunity to accompany Taehyung, but the young man would always tell the media that no matter how far apart they were, he would always think of her.

And so there you have it – an overview of the man labelled as the definition of perfect in the 21st century. Rich, famous, gorgeous, and living a life that many people, if not everyone, would die for.

If only they knew that Kim Taehyung himself would rather die than to continue living his 'perfect' life. If only they knew that Taehyung regretted every little thing that he did which brought him to where he was now. If only they knew that all the things that they thought brought him happiness actually brought him a great deal of pain, and that every day Taehyung teetered on the edge of life and death, wondering when he would fall to either side of the balance.
